Blackberry Juice
This Blackberry Juice is deliciously sweet and tart, with a smooth texture and a rich blackberry flavor from fresh berries that you’ll love!This recipe includes 2 methods: raw for a quick refreshing juice and cooked for a deeper fall-inspired flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) blackberries (about 3 cups)
- 4 cups (1 liter) water
- 1/2 cup (100 g) white granulated sugar (or to taste)
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Raw Method: Add the blueberries to a blender, blend until smooth then strain to remove any seeds. Add the water and sugar, mix until the sugar has dissolved and enjoy. This method is best if you want a quick refreshing drink.
- Cooked Method: Add the blueberries and 1/2 cup of the water to a saucepan over medium heat and cook until the berries turn red and the water turns a deep purple color. Blend the water and berries until smooth, strain, add sugar and the remaining water, mix until the sugar has dissolved and let cool down to room temperature before enjoying! This method is best if you want a deeper flavor, to us it's cozier and fall-like.
Notes
Variations: vanilla (add 1/4 teaspoon or up to 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste to the berries when blending for a sweeter flavor, unless you add lots, you won’t taste the vanilla paste but it’ll add a nice touch to your juice, it’s how my local kiosk makes it), slushie (blend the cold juice with ice instead of water until you get a slushie consistency), lime (if you want it tarter, add 1 tablespoon of lime juice, or more, to taste), mocktail (serve with soda water and lime over lots of ice).
Storing Instructions: store covered or with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
