Sounds like you're NOT getting much celery nutrition that
way...just water plus a bare essence.

Just me but, in this situation, I would put those 3 ribs and the
cup of water into a blender and puree it all. Naturally, do
several batches all at once, then just drink a cup full at a
time.
You would need some layers of cheesecloth for this but that's
inexpensive.

What won't work about that?

Alt method: Put lots of cut celery and water in a crock pot and
let it simmer to extract most of the celery nutrition. Cool, then
drink. Or even drink it hot.

I make broccoli tea occasionally. It's delicious and nutritious.
I've tried that with other vegetables but only broccoli tea
shines.
