To begin, wash your hands and find jam, you can use any jam (but preferably raspberry jam, it’s tastier and healthier). If it is closed, then open it. Prepare a mug and add jam with a tablespoon (depending on the sweetness) and fill with water. Then stir it all and you can use it like a juice drink, drink it to your health!
Answer from Lack of rights[guru]
Pretty, it looks like the fantasy part of your brain has been completely knocked out by too much writing in the freezer! No offense! Stir boiling water, add jam, let it boil, taste, if it’s too sweet, add some water and lemon juice. We taste it again, filter it, pour it into containers and into the refrigerator! And so we recycle the bins of our homeland for the year 2006!
They say that constantly drinking tea and coffee drinks is very harmful. What to do then? It is not advisable to drive after this. Fermented milk liquids are also not good for everyone. But I really want to refresh myself and quench my thirst.
You won’t drink just water all the time either. And you don’t have to run to the store to buy juices. But in the summer heat and winter cold, recipes for making vitamin juice will always come to the rescue.
The flavor palette of this life-giving moisture is quite rich. How many berries - so many flavors you can get. You can also please yourself and your loved ones with their combinations.
This natural and healthy drink can be prepared in a matter of minutes, either from fresh ingredients or from jam. It can be boiled or consumed in its original form without heat treatment.
So what is required to prepare fruit juice? Believe it or not, only 3 ingredients are enough! Water, berries and sugar (or honey)!
To begin with, the berries are usually prepared. Fresh ones are sorted and cleaned of all kinds of leaves and stalks, then washed under cool water.
With frozen ones you will have to tinker a little.
To bring them to a melted state, the preparations are usually taken out of the refrigerator and poured into a colander, and it is placed on top of a deep cup so that the precious juice does not flow out in vain as it thaws. At room temperature, the raw material will reach the desired state in just an hour.
But if you are planning to cook in the morning, then it is better to leave this structure in the common chamber of the refrigeration unit, and overnight you will get beautiful tender berries from the ice.
Under no circumstances should you use boiling water to speed up defrosting. It will not only damage them, but will also instantly destroy beneficial vitamins.
Also, to avoid oxidation, it is advisable to use only enamel cookware and non-metal cooking tools. It is better to take a wooden rolling pin or a plastic pestle.
However, no one forbids you to work with whatever is more convenient for you. This is a personal matter for everyone.
To get more benefits and get a rich concentration, it is best to chop the berries. You can crush them by hand or use a blender, mixer or juicer. And some people use a good old meat grinder for this.
Then the crushed raw material should be separated from the cake; to do this, it is ground through a sieve or squeezed through cheesecloth. And then it is advisable to sweeten the squeezed puree. This can be the usual sugar, but many people add honey - it is much healthier and gives the drink a completely different amazing taste.
The resulting mass is mixed well and diluted with cool water to your liking. That's all - the fruit drink is ready!
Many people prefer to bring the crushed sweet mixture to a boil with a small amount of liquid, and only then dilute it with boiled water. In a sense, this will be correct - after all, not all berries can be accepted by the body with a bang.
A slight heat treatment will allow you to get more flavor from the cake and eliminate unwanted components that disturb the stomach when used raw.
However, if there are no berries, you can always do the same with jam. You just don’t need to add sugar anymore – it’s already sweet enough.
This liquid delicacy can be stored for up to three days, provided that you keep it covered in the refrigerator.
If you don’t like small inclusions of pulp and skin, you can always filter the raw material more thoroughly through a strainer or cheesecloth before pouring it into a container.
Lingonberry juice without boiling the berries (step-by-step recipe)
Lingonberries are incredibly useful, especially in the winter season! Not only is it a natural antioxidant and antibiotic, it is also an excellent remedy for fatigue and vitamin deficiency.
Many people prefer to make fruit juice from it, but for me it turns out more like a compote, so I do it a little differently.
We will need:
- Water – 2 l.
- Lingonberries - 1.5 cups.
- Granulated sugar – 1 cup.
Preparation:
1. Put a pan of water on the fire, add sugar and bring the syrup to a boil. After waiting until all the crystals have completely dissolved, you can remove from the heat. Then cool to room temperature.
While the syrup is cooling, remove debris from the lingonberries and rinse under running cool water. Place in a colander so that excess water can drain without any obstruction.
2. As soon as the sweet liquid has cooled, pour the berries into a special flask or into a jar. Add a little sugar water so that it is level with the lingonberries.
This needs to be done to make it easier to chop the berries. By itself, it is quite tough, so some water will help it with this.
3. Beat everything well with a blender until smooth. You should get a homogeneous, aromatic porridge. It is slightly similar to a smoothie and has its own unique aroma.
4. Strain the resulting puree through a sieve to remove solid pulp. To do this, you can use a spoon or a potato masher to prepare mashed potatoes. If you don’t have it on hand, you can take a clean piece of gauze and fold it in two or three layers. The effect will be exactly the same.
You can squeeze the lingonberry puree directly into a pan with cooled syrup so as not to dirty a lot of dishes.
5. Mix the resulting mixture thoroughly and you can pour the precious nectar into the decanter. It is advisable to cool the drink in the refrigerator before serving.
It tastes with a slight pleasant bitterness, which only adds extra points to it.
How to prepare sea buckthorn juice at home
Sea buckthorn is a storehouse of vitamins. To avoid losing them, it is best not to boil the berries during cooking, and under no circumstances pour boiling water over them. It is best to simply dilute the prepared raw materials with cool, purified water.
As a last resort, use warm liquid to retain all the beneficial microelements.
We will need:
- Sea buckthorn berries – 150 gr.
- Sugar – ½ cup.
- Water - to taste.
Preparation:
1. First you need to rinse the sea buckthorn, remove debris and twigs. Picking berries is difficult, and therefore there is always a lot of this goodness among the harvest.
2. Mash clean orange berries to a puree. It is better to do this in a tall bowl so that the squeezed out oily juice does not stain everything around. Besides, it’s completely inappropriate to splash yourself with precious drops.)
A blender is quite suitable for grinding. Although I would recommend you an ordinary masher, because it will not crush the hard seeds and will not add bitterness to our drink. The taste will be more “clean” and natural.
3. Pour sugar into the crushed raw materials and mix well. Dilute with water to the desired consistency and serve.
4. Some people like to eat the remaining pieces of berries, so you don’t have to strain the finished mixture.
But if small children drink fruit juice, it is better to first pass the sweet puree through a sieve or squeeze it through cheesecloth. And only then dilute the resulting thick juice with water.
And in this case, it is better to add sugar after the skins and seeds have been removed.
It is better to serve the drink slightly chilled, but this is a matter of taste.
If you don’t have fresh or frozen berries, then feel free to cook them, it will also be very tasty.

How to make juice from fresh cranberries
To avoid colds in the cool season and boost immunity, it is useful to include cranberries in your diet. Not only is it refreshing, but it also contains substances that promote a positive mood.
So we can say that it is a natural cure for depression. And this is no joke!!!
We will need:
- Cranberries – 0.7 kg.
- Water – 3 liters.
- Granulated sugar – 0.35 kg.
Preparation:
1. Grind the berries, well washed and cleared of unnecessary debris, to a puree. You shouldn’t chop it too much, although large pieces will be completely useless. The main thing is to achieve such a state that more liquid can be released from it.
You can choose the grinding method yourself. It is convenient to use a food processor for these purposes; you can adjust the consistency of the berries in it.
2. Prepare clean, ironed gauze and transfer the resulting pulp into it. Carefully collect the ends of the matter and use it to squeeze out the precious juice.
To make it easier to squeeze the berries, do not put them all in cheesecloth at once. It is better to do this in parts, so we will lose fewer useful particles of ruby raw materials.
3. By the way, the resulting cake can also be used - why waste it! It should be poured into a saucepan and, after adding water, mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil and immediately turn off the heat.
4. Strain the resulting colored broth through the previously used gauze and now the unnecessary skins and seeds can be thrown away with peace of mind. We have already taken everything that could be taken from them.
5. While the liquid is still hot, dissolve sugar in it. If you delay, it will be more difficult for the crystals to dissolve later.
And as soon as the resulting syrup has cooled to room temperature, pour in the previously squeezed cranberry juice.
7. Then you can pour it into a beautiful container and serve it as a drink, either at the table or just for drinking instead of water.
It's so quick and easy! How useful!
Step-by-step recipe for making cranberry juice from frozen berries

Preparation:
1. Remove the berries from the freezer in advance and let them thaw in a tall bowl. Remember that they must reach the desired state without any additional intervention in the form of water or any heating.
Then crush them using a wooden or plastic masher.
It is better not to use iron utensils in such cases, so that the berries do not oxidize and receive an unnecessary additional flavor.
2. Add granulated sugar and dilute the ruby aromatic puree with water. The amount of sugar in the recipe is what I usually add myself.
You can taste the diluted liquid and adjust the taste yourself.
3. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat to a boil.
If you bought frozen cranberries in a store or market, you can even cook them for just a couple of minutes. You should not cook any more, so as not to lose precious nutrients.

4. Cool the finished drink, strain through a fine sieve, or through gauze, if you have what you have on hand, and can be served for consumption.
