Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 passionfruit (small, about 1.8 oz/50 g each whole fruit; or 1 cup/6.7 oz/190 g pulp)
- 1/3 cup simple syrup (or any liquid sweetener like honey, maple syrup, etc.)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Prepare the Passionfruit: Use a sharp knife to cut the passion fruit in half width-wise. Scoop out the flesh and seeds into a bowl or blender.
- Manual Straining Method: Transfer the passion fruit pulp to a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag. Strain the liquid from the seeds by pressing with the back of a spoon or squeezing the bag. Skip this step if you prefer juice with seeds.
- Add Water and Sweetener: Mix the strained passion fruit juice with 2 cups of water and 1/3 cup of your chosen sweetener to your taste.
- Blender Method: Alternatively, place the fruit pulp, water, and sweetener into a blender or food processor. Pulse for 1-2 seconds at a time to loosen the juice without pulverizing the seeds.
- Strain the Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a sieve to remove seed remnants. Note that blending too long can make straining harder but retains more fiber.
- Storage Instructions: For best flavor and nutrients, enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Stir or shake before serving. To freeze, pour into ice cube trays or Ziplock bags and freeze for up to 6 months. Use frozen cubes in drinks or thaw before serving.
Notes
- You can omit straining if you like some texture and fiber in your juice.
- Adjust sweetener and water to your taste preference.
- Fresh juice is best consumed immediately for maximum nutrients.
- Properly stored juice lasts up to five days refrigerated.
- Freezing is a great way to preserve juice for up to 6 months.
