The right cranberry juice will boost your immunity, strengthen your blood vessels and reduce fever. We offer you a step-by-step recipe with minimal heat treatment, following which you can brew a truly tasty and healthy drink, preserving the healing properties of the berry. The juice can be prepared from both fresh and frozen cranberries.

How to cook Simple cranberry juice

Step 1

Place the prepared cranberries in a bowl and mash them well with a masher. This should be done very carefully so that the berry juice does not splash everywhere.

Step 2

Pour the released juice through a sieve (cheesecloth) into a jar and put it away for a while.

Step 3

Place the remaining berry pulp in a saucepan, pour in cold water, put on the fire, bring to a boil. Cook them on low heat for about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the broth from the heat, add sugar, cool until warm, add cranberry juice and stir. Serve cooled.

Can I make this juice sugar-free or low-carb?

Absolutely! Replace sugar with stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust.

What's the best way to strain the juice without a sieve?

Use a clean cotton towel, nut milk bag, or even a fine-mesh colander lined with paper towels for effective straining.

Can I make a larger batch of this juice?

Yes, simply multiply ingredients proportionally. The cooking time remains the same, but cooling may take longer.
