About Passion Fruit Juice

Passion Fruit Juice is a refreshing drink made using passion fruit pulp. It is loaded with tropical flavors and is refreshing to sip on hot summer days. To make this tropical juice, the fruit pulp is blended with sugar and water. The juice is strained through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Know that the passion fruit seeds are edible, but they won’t feel great while sipping the juice, and hence, I prefer straining the liquid. This passion fruit drink is vegan, needs basic pantry ingredients, and can be customized to your taste. If the fruits are too tart, add more sugar; if they are sweet, reduce the sugar. You can add more or less water to thin down the juice. Homemade juice is also free of artificial stabilizers, synthetic vitamins, and chemical colors.

Where To Buy Passion Fruit From

Storage Suggestions

I like to serve this juice immediately after making it as it tastes the best when made fresh. But if you have some leftover juice, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Do shake it well before serving it as the pulp might get settled at the bottom of the container.
