Ingredients

4 plums, ripe to overripe
3 cups water
2 tablespoons agave syrup, optional
A dash of fresh lemon juice, optional
Ice cubes to serve

Instructions

Wash the plums and remove their pits. Slice them into smaller pieces, keeping the skin for extra flavor and color.
Add the plums and water to the blender. Blend until smooth.
Strain the blended plum mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Press down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
Return the fresh plum juice to the blender. Add the agave syrup and lemon juice. Blend briefly to combine.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more sweetener or lemon juice if needed.
Pour the plum juice into individual glasses. Serve with ice if desired.
Give the juice a gentle stir, and enjoy!

Notes

Choose Ripe Plums: Ripe plums provide the best flavor and sweetness for homemade plum juice. Look for dark purple plums that give when pressed. The riper the plums, the sweeter the fresh juice.
Blend and Strain: To achieve a smooth consistency, blend the plum mixture thoroughly. If you prefer a pulp-free juice, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Adjust Sweetness and Tanginess: Taste the juice as you add the sweetener and lemon juice. Feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your personal preference. Start with smaller amounts and add more if desired.
