Start of Spring-Summer, makes you crave for something cool coo1!!!!
Time to have and relish some fruit juices...exotic fruits like mango, grapes, pineapple and so on..
Sometimes it is good to mix two or three fruit juices and enjoy!!!!
My kids love fresh fruit juice, Me too prefer fresh juice made at home, rather than giving the store bought carton ones, though it says fresh but it is not fresh and loaded with sugar.
So I always try to make fresh fruit juice at home, replace sugar with honey, or no sugar at all if the fruit itself is very sweet.
We enjoy in the afternoon or after our brunch, usually after our evening snack, like sandwiches with spicy chutneys and cool fresh fruit juice..aaahhh!!! heaven, reminds me of my college days and Bangalore days, when after a hot day, drizzle of rain in the evening, the smell of the mud, the scent of jasmine in the breeze and hot pakodas and sandwich with cool cool juice or even sugarcane juice...aaawww!!!!!nostalgia!!!!!!
Ingredients:
Red Seedless Grapes - 500 grams washed and drained,
Lemon Juice - 1 teaspoon,
Honey or Sugar - 1 teaspoon,(optional),
Chilled water - 250 ml,
Salt - a pinch
Ice,
Sprigs of mint to garnish.
Method:
Pick grapes from the bunch and separate from the sticks.
Wash and Clean the grapes well and drain water completely.
Put the cleaned grapes, salt, honey/sugar in the blender.
Blend it to smooth paste, about 5-6 minutes.
Adding sugar is completely optional, if the grapes are sweet than you skip honey or sugar.
Now after blending, you can strain the juice, to keep the juice free of grape skin, to keep clear juice only.
Or you can just add water and ice to the blended paste and blend for couple of minutes to form the frothy texture .
Serve in glasses with garnishing of mint and more ice.
Here I haven't added ice, as my family is allergic to ice.
Again I have added lemon juice, to break the too sweet grapes juice with a little tangy lemon and salt to break the too sweetness of grapes.
Its up to you alter any of these.
