Directions
- Wash the cranberries with water and discard any soft cranberry. Cranberries are usually firm and a soft cranberry is either breaking down or fermenting. So get rid of any soft cranberry,
- Blend the cranberries with 1/2 of the bottle of purified water. Blend until it looks like smoothie.
- Pour the blended cranberries into a strainer and let the juice drain into a container. Pour the remaining water into the strainer and use it to extract more juice from the pulp. If you prefer a clear juice without pulp, use a cheesecloth or chiffon cloth to strain it. Do not throw the pulp away, save it for cranberry jam.
- Add any sweetener of choice if you prefer a sweet cranberry juice. You can drink it right away or refrigerate it for up to a week
