Fruit drink is a very nutritious drink. It quenches thirst well in the summer, as freshly squeezed juice is taken for cooking. A slightly warmed lingonberry drink will be useful for colds, because it contains a large amount of vitamins.
It is necessary
-
- 150 g lingonberries;
- 120 g sugar;
- 1 liter of water;
- 2 mint leaves.
Instructions
Step 1
At home, lingonberry juice can be prepared from fresh and frozen berries.
Sort fresh berries, peel leaves. Boil water, cool it down. Rinse lingonberries in warm boiled water. Place the berries in a blender. Pour in some cold or warm water and grind everything.
Step 2
Strain the ground berries. Use a sieve for this. It is better to immediately filter the berries into a jug or any glass container. Cover the juice with a lid and refrigerate. Pour lingonberry pomace with cold water, boil for 5 minutes over low heat.
Step 3
Add sugar, stir gently. Instead of sugar, you can use honey, but you need to add it to the finished fruit drink. Cool the mixture and strain. Pour chilled juice into the resulting broth.
Step 4
To prepare fruit drink from frozen berries, take lingonberries from the refrigerator, sort them out. Place the berries in a glass container and cover with boiling water. Make sure the water completely covers the lingonberries. Stir the mixture with a spoon until all the berries are melted. Pour in more boiled water. Add sugar and mint leaves.
Step 5
Close the container with a lid. Leave the drink to infuse for 3 hours in a warm place. Strain the fruit drink through a sieve or cheesecloth. Mash the lingonberries with a spoon or pestle to squeeze out as much juice as possible. Pour the finished drink into a transparent jug. Ice cubes can be added. The color of the finished fruit drink should be rich.
Step 6
Store fruit drinks for two days in the refrigerator or other cool place.
