Notes
Tips to Consider
- To strain the juice, use a fine mesh sieve and press the cranberries with the back of a spoon to get as much liquid as possible. You can also use your hands or a nut milk bag.
- Start by adding a small amount of sugar, then taste in-between. Everyone likes a different level of sweetness, experiment and see what works best for you.
- If you are using fresh fruits, make sure you wash them properly. However, if you chose to work with frozen, keep in mind that you need to thaw your bag of cranberries before starting.
