HOMEMADE GRAPE JUICE
Steps:
- Prepare a sieve or cheesecloth: Get another large pot, place a large fine mesh sieve over it. Alternatively you can cover it with two layers of cheesecloth, secured with a rubber band. Make sure pot is sitting on a plate to catch any juice that may run over.
- Finishing: Remove sieve or cheesecloth. Note that sediment will have formed on the bottom of the container. Rinse out the sieve or cheesecloth and strain the juice again, to filter out some of the sediment. Pour or ladle juice into containers. Enjoy your juice! After about 1 week in the fridge I find that the juice starts to ferment, not in a bad way, it just adds some natural carbonation. If you let it sit around too long it could eventually turn to vinegar. This is why we try to make just as much as we would use up in 1 week. When we have made more than that we have frozen it, but the defrosted juice isn't nearly as good as the fresh juice.

HOMEMADE SPARKLING GRAPE JUICE (OR OTHER FLAVORS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Instructions: 1. Pour frozen juice concentrate into a 2-quart pitcher. Refill the can from the concentrate 4 times with club soda (48 ounces, or 6 cups of club soda) and pour into the pitcher. Stir. Serve cold and enjoy your delicious sparkling juice! Homemade Sparkling Grape Juice Additional Notes: For a stronger juice with less carbonation, add only 3 cans (36 ounces) of club soda instead of 4 (48 ounces). We like to use grape juice or apple juice, to make sparkling grape juice or sparkling cider. Any frozen juice concentrate will work, although orange juice is probably our least favorite of the ones we've tried so far. :) Homemade Sparkling Grape Juice See my blog post about this sparkling juice for a price breakdown and comparison to store-bought sparkling juice! Preparation Time: 5 minutes Tammy's Review: This homemade sparkling juice tastes JUST like the bottles of sparkling juice that are sold for at least $2-3 for 750ml (about 25 ounces)! I love that we can make our own for a fraction of the price... plus get 100% juice (and carbonation of course)! :)

Tips for Making Homemade Sparkling Grape Juice or Other Flavors:
- Choose ripe, flavorful grapes: The quality of your grapes will directly impact the taste of your sparkling juice. Look for grapes that are plump, deeply colored, and free of blemishes.
- Wash and sort the grapes: Before you start juicing, wash the grapes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Then, sort the grapes, removing any that are damaged or unripe.
- Use a juicer: The easiest way to make grape juice is to use a juicer. If you don't have a juicer, you can also mash the grapes by hand or use a food processor.
- Add sugar and water (optional): If you want your sparkling juice to be sweeter, you can add sugar to taste. You can also add a little water to thin out the juice, if desired.
- Carbonate the juice: To carbonate the juice, you can use a soda maker or a carbon dioxide tank. If you're using a soda maker, simply follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you're using a carbon dioxide tank, you'll need to connect the tank to a carbonation cap and then carbonate the juice according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Flavor the juice (optional): You can flavor your sparkling grape juice with a variety of ingredients, such as lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, or herbs. Simply add the desired flavorings to the juice and stir to combine.
- Bottle the juice: Once the juice is carbonated and flavored to your liking, bottle it in clean, sterilized bottles. Seal the bottles tightly and store them in a cool, dark place.
Conclusion:
Homemade sparkling grape juice is a delicious and refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's also a great way to use up extra grapes from your garden or local farmers market. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own sparkling grape juice at home. So next time you're looking for a special drink to serve at a party or gathering, give this recipe a try!
