More On This Grape Juice
I do have an electric juicer at home, and I would say that it juices really well. But the flipside is, I find it too tedious and tiresome to clean its different parts after juicing a fruit or vegetable. Hence, as much as possible, I make my juices in a blender and then strain them. The same goes for this Grape Juice, which really gets done in the blink of an eye. All you need to do is put the grapes in the blender jar, give it a swoosh, strain and stir in remaining ingredients. Another juice that I use the blender/mixer for is this Orange Juice. I have used seedless black grapes for this Grape Juice recipe, which were also naturally sweet. You can even make it with the other varieties by adjusting the remaining ingredients depending on the sweetness. After blending these black grapes, if you find the taste of the Grape Juice on the stronger side, dilute it with some water or ice cubes that’ll also chill the beverage. Since the black grapes that I used were also very sweet, I did not add any extra sweetener to this Grape Juice recipe. I also added a teeny bit of lemon juice, just to bring in a slight tang factor and balance the sweetness from the grapes. But if you have grapes that are not on the sweeter side, then you can use sugar or powdered jaggery depending upon how sweet you like your drink to be.
Buy The Right Produce
An important thing to keep in mind while working with grapes, or for that matter any fruits is that, they are usually laden with pesticides when sold by fruit vendors in the market. So, if you end up buying these, rinse them thoroughly in running water first. Then, soak in a vinegar-water solution for a couple of minutes and rinse well again in water. However, if you can find fresh organic black grapes, then nothing like it. They are free of toxic chemicals and pesticides and you can process them directly into this Grape Juice after just a simple wash.
