Black Grape Juice

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups black grapes (washed and stemmed)
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup water
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Grapes:

 Wash the black grapes thoroughly under running water and remove the stems. Make sure they are clean and free of any debris.

Blend the Grapes:

 Place the washed grapes into a blender or food processor. Add the sugar to the grapes. The amount of sugar you use depends on your preference and the sweetness of the grapes. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust according to taste.

Add Water:

 Pour in the water to facilitate blending and to adjust the thickness of the juice. If you prefer a thicker juice, you can reduce the amount of water.

Blend:

 Blend the grapes, sugar, and water on high speed until you have a smooth and well-mixed juice. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.

Strain the Juice:

 To remove any seeds and pulp, strain the grape mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean pitcher or bowl. You can press down on the solids in the strainer to extract as much juice as possible.

Chill and Serve: 

If desired, add ice cubes to the juice to make it cold and refreshing. Stir the juice well and serve it immediately in a glass. You can also refrigerate it for a while before serving.

This homemade black grape juice is a healthy and delicious option that lets you enjoy the natural sweetness of grapes without any added artificial flavors or preservatives. Enjoy!
