Fresh Passion Fruit Juice
Sweet, tart, and undeniably refreshing. The perfect summer escape in a glass.
Passion fruit, often called the “Fruit of Passion,” is a marvel of the tropical world. Unlike ordinary fruit juices, this Passion Fruit Juice offers a complex profile: it is simultaneously sweet and sour, with an aromatic fragrance that fills the room the moment you cut the fruit open.
This recipe embraces simplicity. By blending the pulp with water and a touch of honey, we create a light, hydrating beverage that feels like a breeze on a hot day. Just add ice, and you are ready to transport yourself to a tropical island.
Serving Suggestion: This juice pairs perfectly with our sweet Golden Sugar Donuts for a complete treat.
Ingredients Notes
Fresh ingredients are key for the best flavor.
- • Passion Fruit: 2 whole fruits. Look for ones with slightly wrinkled skin; they are sweeter.
- • Sweetener: 2 Tablespoons White Honey or Sugar. Adjust based on how tart your fruit is.
- • Water: 1 Liter. Cold filtered water works best.
- • Lemon Juice: 2 Tablespoons. This enhances the zestiness and preserves the color.
How to Make Passion Fruit Juice
1. Prep the Fruit
Cut the passion fruits in half. Use a spoon to scoop out all the pulp and seeds directly into your blender jar.
2. Blend
Add the water and your choice of sweetener (honey or sugar) to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is fully combined and frothy.
3. Strain & Refine
Pour the juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the broken seeds. Add the lemon juice to the pitcher and stir well.
4. Chill & Serve
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled. Serve over ice cubes for the ultimate refreshing experience.
💡 Chef’s Tip
Don’t want to waste the seeds? Some people enjoy the “crunch.” You can pulse the blender gently to keep seeds intact, or garnish the top of your glass with a teaspoon of fresh pulp for a beautiful presentation.
