Ingredients

10 fresh passion fruit
5 cups filtered water
sweetener to taste optional

Instructions

Place the passion fruit on a chopping board and use a paring knife to slice it in half.
Place the halves carefully on top of each other in a large bowl.
Use a spoon to scoop out the passion fruit pulp into a small bowl.
Pour the filtered water into the blender then add the passion fruit pulp.
Pulse the mixture a few times to breakdown the seeds (you don't want to break them down completely).
Use a fine mesh sieve to strain off the juice into a jug or pitcher (press down on the seeds with the back of a spoon).
Discard the seeds.Skim off any of the foam with a spoon and discard.Stir in the sweetener of your choice to taste.
Serve with ice.

Notes

Try to pick passion fruit with wrinkled skin (if using the purple ones) as they are more likely to be sweeter and juicer.
Don't over blend the seeds, pulsing is fine as we want to loosen up the pulp from the seeds.
It is normal for the juice to separate, just give it a stir before serving.
Feel free to add ginger, lemon, lime, mango, pineapple or even orange juice.
Sweeten according to your preference. I used coconut nectar which is low GI and not overly sweet in taste.
Keep any leftover juice refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Best served when refrigerated and chilled.
