How to Make Passion Fruit Juice

Ingredients

5 ripe passionfruit
Cold water
Ice
Sugar or sugar substitute

How to make it 

Steps

1 Buy five or six tropical passion fruit - the yellow kind.

 They need to be crinkly but not rotten. Don't let the look put you off because they need to be very ripe to make the juice.

2 Cut each in half and scoop out the flesh into a blender.

3 Add about 3 times the amount of water and run the blender for a minute or so. 

The black seed will separate from the jelly. Don't over blend as the seeds will break up and create a grit.

4 Pour the mixture into a large jug or bowl through a sieve to catch the seeds.

 Rub in the mixture in the sieve to get every drop.

5 Add about three times as much cold water again and sugar to taste. 

Use a teaspoon to taste the juice until you get the right amount. You may still need to add more water, but do it cautiously as you don't want to make the juice too weak.

6 Run the juice through a funnel into a jug or bottle and cool.

 5 passion fruit will make around 2 1/2 liters (0.7 US gal) of juice, so make sure your bottle is large enough.

7 Enjoy straight from the fridge, with ice, or as a cocktail with rum or vodka!
