Ingredients for grape juice
- 1 kg grapes
- 1 lemon juice
- sugar to taste (optional)
- 1 cup of water
Preparation of grape juice
- Start by detaching the grapes from the bunch and washing them. Then place them in a pot with a cup of water, lemon juice and put them on the heat over high heat. As soon as they start to boil, lower the heat and cook until the skins begin to become soft and begin to peel off.
- Turn off the heat and with the help of a sieve filter the liquid by dropping it directly into a bowl. Mash the berries in order to collect all the grape juice.
- Add sugar according to your taste and mix well so that it dissolves completely. You can consume it fresh as I did or transfer the juice into airtight glass bottles and consume it later.
- Transfer the bottles to a saucepan wrap them with clean tea towels and place them on the stove, bring them to a boil and let them boil for 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it cool completely before transferring the juice bottles to the pantry.
Advice
I personally consumed the fresh juice as concentrated as you can see in the picture and without adding sweeteners. But if you want a clearer version, just dilute it with water and sweeten it to your liking.
The bottled juice can be stored in a cool, dry place for a couple of months.
