Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making your delicious grape ade! First, select fresh, plump grapes. Don’t worry if they are a bit too sour; this recipe will magically make them taste wonderful. Wash the grapes thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to peel and de-seed the grapes. Gently squeeze each grape to remove the skin. You can then cut each grape in half with scissors and carefully remove the seeds. Removing all the seeds is important for a smoother texture, especially if serving to children. While it might take a moment, this step makes a big difference in the final taste and texture.
Step 3
Place the prepared grape pulp into a clear glass or your favorite serving cup. Arranging them nicely at the bottom will make the final drink look even more appealing. Fill the cup about one-third to halfway with the grapes.
Step 4
Finally, fill the cup with chilled sparkling water or clear soda. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a touch of sugar or honey to adjust the sweetness according to the grapes’ natural tartness. Add a generous amount of ice cubes, and voilà! Your refreshing and delicious grape ade, just like your favorite bottled ‘grape drink’, is ready to be enjoyed. Grab a straw and sip away!
