If you want something cool and refreshing in the exhausting summer heat, fruit drink is a great option. It's easy to make at home using your favourite berries. But to make the drink really thirst-quenching, it is better not to add sugar to the fruit drink.

Food blogger Natalia with the nickname nata.cooking shared a recipe for strawberry and cherry fruit juice on her Instagram page.

Ingredients:

• frozen cherries (you can use fresh) - 150 g
• strawberries - 400 g
• water - 1-1,5 l
• sugar as desired (the recipe uses 2 tbsp.)

Method of preparation:

1. If you are using frozen berries, thaw them completely beforehand.

2. Next, put all the berries in a blender bowl and blend until smooth.

3. Pour the resulting berry mass onto a sieve to separate the juice from the pulp. Leave the juice in the fridge and transfer the pulp to a saucepan.

4. Pour water over the pulp, add sugar if desired and put everything on the stove. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately and strain the syrup.

5. When the syrup has cooled slightly, add the berry juice. Stir and enjoy. Enjoy your meal!
