Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams red or green seedless grapes
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole orange
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 cubes ice cubes
- 200 milliliters cold water
Instructions
Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove them from the stems.
Peel the orange and lemon, removing the seeds and white pith to avoid bitterness.
In a blender, combine the grapes, orange, lemon, fresh mint leaves, honey, ground cinnamon, and cold water.
Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and liquefied.
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
Add ice cubes to the strained juice and stir well to chill it.
Taste the juice and adjust sweetness with additional honey, if needed.
Pour the Moroccan grape juice into glasses, garnish with a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately.
