How to Make Passion Fruit Juice With A Blender
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8-10 passion fruits (yielding approximately 1 cup of pulp)
- 3 Cups Water
- ¼- ½ Cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Slice each passion fruit in half crosswise and use a spoon to scoop the pulp and seeds into a bowl. The pulp will be bright orange-yellow and look almost gelatinous around the seeds; that is exactly right. Work over the bowl so you do not lose any juice.8-10 passion fruits
- Add the scooped pulp to a blender along with a cup of water. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds. You are not trying to grind the seeds into powder; you are just loosening the pulp from the seeds so it releases into the liquid. The mixture will look frothy and yellow-orange when it is ready.3 Cups Water
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl or pitcher. Use the back of a spoon to press the pulp through; you want to extract as much juice as possible. What stays behind in the strainer is seeds and fibrous pulp. Discard that. Do not skip this step or rush it; the seeds have a slightly bitter, tannic quality that will make your juice taste off if they end up in the glass.
- Add sugar and the remaining water to the strained juice and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste it. The juice should be tart-forward with just enough sweetness to balance it. Adjust sugar to your preference here; passion fruit varies in sweetness depending on ripeness, so this step is always a little different.¼- ½ Cup Sugar
- Stir in the fresh lime juice. Transfer to a pitcher or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. The chill time lets the flavors come together; the lime especially needs a few minutes to mellow from sharp to bright. Serve over ice.1 tablespoon lime juice, Ice cubes
