Grape Juice recipe made with just a few ingredients and in a blender. This Grape Juice recipe gets done in a jiffy if you have rinsed and prepped the grapes.
Rinse the organic black grapes or green grapes thoroughly in water a few times using a mesh strainer or colander. Drain all the water and set aside.
Transfer the rinsed grapes to a blender. Blend to a fine consistency ensuring there are no chunks of the grapes. Pour the juice on a strainer which has been lined under a bowl.
With a spoon press the pulp in the strainer very well, so that all the extra juice is strained.
Taste the juice and if it feels strong for your palate, add some water as needed.
If the juice is not sweet, add some sugar or your preferred sweetener.
For a bit of tang, add lemon juice. Stir to mix. Pour grape juice in glasses or mugs.
While serving the juice, sprinkle a pinch of black salt in the glasses if you like.
Serve Black Grape Juice immediately with or without ice cubes.
You can garnish the juice with grapes or mint leaves.
Notes
Preferably try to make the grape juice with organic grapes. However, if you end up buying non-organic grapes, then remember to rinse them thoroughly in running water first. Then, soak in a vinegar and water solution in a bowl for about 5 minutes. Rinse again twice in water using a strainer or colander.
Black salt can be skipped if you do not have it.
Feel free to add some spiced notes by including a few pinches of crushed black pepper or cayenne pepper or ginger. Add about ½ teaspoon of chopped ginger while blending the grapes.
For a cold juice, add a few ice cubes or a bit of cold water.
Grape juice tastes best when freshly juiced. The flavor and nutrition profile are maximum when the grapes are juiced. So I would not recommend storing the juice as there may be a loss of some nutrients.
