Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Fine mesh strainer
  • 1 Large pitcher
  • 1 Spoon

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces passion fruit pulp (about 450 g), fresh, frozen, or prepackaged
  • 3 cups water (720 ml)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 to 2 cups ice cubes

Instructions

  • Add the passion fruit pulp, water, and sugar to a blender.
  • Blend on high speed for about 2 to 3 minutes, until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove the broken-down seeds, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar and stirring until dissolved.
  • Serve chilled over ice.

Notes

  • If using frozen passion fruit pulp, allow it to thaw slightly before blending and add a little extra water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • For a more tart juice, reduce the sugar slightly. For a sweeter version, increase to taste.
  • Chill in the refrigerator before serving for an extra refreshing drink.
