  • ¼ Cup Any Raw Sugar I used Jaggery Powder
  • ¼ Cup Lemon Juice

For Fresh Black Grape Juice

Instructions
 

Make Black Grape Squash

  • Clean Grapes. Black Grapes has a kind of powdery covering. To clean it properly, wash grapes in running water 2-3 times.
  • Take water in a container add sea salt to it and soak grapes in it. Keep grapes for about 15-20 mins. Rub grapes lightly to remove the residue. Then drain the water, wash again one more time.
  • In a pan add 2-3 cups of water. Add washed grapes.
  • Boil grapes in water, till the peel starts to come out. Grapes will also change a bit of color.
  • Switch off the gas. Let the grape mixture cool completely.
  • Next drain the colored water and then transfer the grapes to a grinder/ blender.
  • Pulse 1-2 times. Do not grind to a smooth paste. The peels may not taste bitter and also you won't get a clear solution.
  • Alternatively, mash the grapes using a potato masher or better use you hand to take out pulp and separate the peels.
  • Strain the mixture again. Add about half cup water, if the mixture is too thick.
  • Finally when you take out all the pulp and are left with peels, take the clear mixture in saucepan/pan, add sugar/jaggery powder.
  • Boil the mixture for 5 mins. Take off the gas and cool completely.
  • Once cooled, add lemon juice and then fill and store in sterilized bottles.
  • To make large batches adjust the ingredients accordingly as per the quantity of grapes.

How to Serve

  • Take about ¼ Cup of Squash in glass. Add chilled water/carbonated water.
  • Serve with ices cubes.
  • You can also add crushed ginger and mint leaves (or use muddler) before making the drink.
