How to Make Mulberry Juice:

While you can find commercially prepared mulberry juice, making it at home is also an option. Here's a basic method:

Ingredients:

• Fresh, ripe mulberries
• Water
• Optional: Sugar or other sweetener to taste
• Optional: Lemon juice to enhance flavor and act as a preservative

Instructions:

1. Wash the Mulberries: Gently rinse the mulberries under cool water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the washed mulberries with enough water to just cover them. If desired, add sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice. The amount of sugar will depend on the sweetness of your berries and your preference.
3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mulberries are soft and have released their color and juice. Stir occasionally.
4. Strain the Juice: Pour the cooked mulberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander into a clean bowl or container. Use a spoon or spatula to gently press the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
5. Cool and Store: Allow the juice to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean bottle or jar. Store it in the refrigerator. Homemade mulberry juice is best consumed within 3-4 days.

Enjoy your homemade mulberry juice! You can adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking.
