What You’ll Need:
- 6-8 ripe apricots
- 2 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Blender
- Strainer
Step 1: Prepare the Apricots
Start by washing the apricots thoroughly under running water. Remove any stems or leaves attached to them. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper napkin.
Step 2: Remove the Pits
Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. You can easily twist them and they will come out effortlessly. Once the pits are removed, cut the apricot halves into smaller pieces.
Step 3: Blend the Apricots
Place the apricot pieces into a blender. Add water to the blender and blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add less water.
Step 4: Strain the Mixture
Place a strainer over a bowl or jug to separate the juice from any pulp or solid pieces. Pour the blended mixture into the strainer and use a spoon to press down and extract all the juice. Discard the pulp left in the strainer.
Step 5: Sweeten to Taste
If you prefer your fruit juice a little sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey to the strained juice. Mix well until the honey is completely dissolved. You can adjust the amount of honey according to your taste preference.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Pour the apricot juice into glasses filled with ice cubes, if desired. You can garnish the glasses with a slice of fresh apricot or a sprig of mint. Sip and enjoy the refreshing and nutritious apricot fruit juice!
Now that you know how to make apricot fruit juice, you can experiment with adding other fruits or flavors to create your unique blends. Don’t be afraid to get creative and enjoy the endless possibilities of homemade fruit juices!
