Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Wash the Grapes

    In a large bowl of water, add 1/2 spoon of salt. Immerse the bunch of grapes in the salt water and let it soak for to effectively clean them and remove any pesticides. After soaking, pluck the grapes from the stem.

  2. Final Rinse

    Transfer the plucked grapes to another bowl of clean water and rinse them one more time. Drain the water completely and set the grapes aside.

  3. Prepare for Blending

    In a blender jar, add the 300g of cleaned grapes. To this, add 2 pinches of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper powder, 2 spoons of honey, and 1 tsp of lemon juice. Finally, pour in about 1 cup of water.

  4. Blend the Juice

    Close the lid of the blender and blend the mixture on medium speed for about until the grapes are well crushed and the juice becomes frothy.

  5. Strain the Juice

    Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the blended grape mixture through the strainer. Use a spoon to press the pulp against the mesh to extract all the juice. Discard the leftover pulp.

  6. Serve the Grape Juice

    Take two serving glasses. You can add a few chopped grapes to one glass and 2 spoons of soaked chia seeds to the other for different textures. Add a few ice cubes to each glass. Pour the freshly prepared grape juice into the glasses. Garnish with a whole grape on the rim and serve chilled.
