Ingredients
- 500 to 550 gram black grapes or green grapes (seedless) - preferably organic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or add as required, optional
- 2 to 3 pinches black salt - optional
- raw sugar or powdered jaggery, as required - optional
- water add as needed, optional
Instructions
- 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.
