Ingredients:

Ripe raspberries
Cane sugar

Option 1 for raspberry juice

Press juice from 1 kg of sorted raspberries in batches through clean linen cloth. Add sugar to the obtained juice (half of the volume occupied by the juice). Slowly bring to a boil. Cook for no longer than 5-7 minutes, gently skimming off any foam at the end. Pour the boiling juice into airtight bottles and pasteurize at 80°C for 15 minutes. From the leftover fruit, you can prepare a healthy compote for immediate consumption.

Option 2 for raspberry juice

Press juice from raspberries using a juicer, add sugar, bring to a boil, and pasteurize in bottles. Blend the raspberry fruits, strain through a plastic sieve. Pour the juice into a tall container to settle. Then carefully pour off the clarified juice. Add sugar, bring to a boil, and pasteurize. From the fruit remnants and strained pulp, prepare equally healthy compote.

Usage of raspberry juice

Raspberry fruit juice is an addition to well-boiled warm water or traditional tea. However, it is best to add it to well-warmed herbal or fruit teas, e.g., made from lime blossoms, elderberry, barberry, or wild rose. For 1 cup, use 1-2 tablespoons of thick juice. It is recommended to serve drinks with juice to children or adults several times a day, especially just before putting them to bed. Remember that the most effective warming and sweating effect is achieved after drinking a warm beverage with this juice and immediately before laying down in warm bedding.
