A different kind of berry on the table today! It's almost summertime and the perfect time to buy unique berries.
Check out this mulberry juice recipe that's loaded with vitamin C! I have tried mulberry jelly and ice cream in the past, but they don't come close to the freshness you get in a juice.
You have got to try it to believe it.
I was able to buy fresh mulberries at the local farmer's market and found this great way to enjoy them.
This mulberry juice recipe is very easy to make, and it only requires very few ingredients.
If you are looking for a refreshing drink to cool you down, look no further than this mulberry juice. It's perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot day.
This is not a berry that you can easily buy from any grocery store and that's what makes it extra special.
I got them from the local farmer's market and drew inspiration from the dragon fruit juice recipe that I shared earlier last month.

What is mulberry?
Mulberry (Morus Nigra) is a fruit that belongs to the Moraceae family. It is native to warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world.
The most common type of mulberry is red, black, or white mulberries. For this recipe, I will use black mulberries.
Loaded with vitamin C and Iron, this fruit is often used to prepare wine, tea, or jelly but can also be dried and eaten as a snack.
Unlike juice recipes, jelly recipes need the berries to cook in boiling water and need a considerable amount of added sugar just like strawberry jam.
All the more reasons to try a cup of juice instead of jam. Check out the details about mulberry on 101 mulberries from Healthline.
Ingredients
Mulberry: I used ripe black mulberry for this recipe. You can find mulberry in Asian grocery stores, or you can substitute it with other berries like blackberry, raspberry, or blueberry.
Summer is the best time for mulberry harvest and the perfect time to get the sweetest varieties. Be sure to wash them thoroughly to get rid of squished berries and pick the small green stem off the berries before using it.
Water: I used filtered water for this recipe, but you can use tap water if you wish.
Sugar: You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. If you want more tart juice, you can use less sugar.
Lemon juice: this is optional, I like to add a small amount of lemon juice to my mulberry juice to give it some acidity. You can skip this if you don't have any lemon on hand.
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
First, wash the mulberries and remove any stems. Then, add the mulberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice to a blender.
And blend until smooth or until the sugar dissolves. Pour the juice into a glass and enjoy!
That's all there is to it! Is there anything easier than that? No need for a food processor or even boiling the berries. Your own fresh juice with the right amount of tart flavor.
Recipe FAQ
Is it safe to eat mulberries?
Yes, mulberries are safe to eat. They are a good source of vitamins C and K, and they also contain antioxidants. Use ripe berries for the best results.
What does mulberry fruit taste like?
Mulberries have a sweet and tart taste. They are often used in pies, jams, and juices.
Are blackberry and mulberry the same?
No, blackberry and mulberry are not the same. Blackberries are larger and have a rounder shape than mulberries. Mulberries are also darker in color.
Expert tips
- If you can't find fresh, ripe mulberries, you can use frozen ones instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using them.
- Use a muslin bag to strain the juice to remove any leftover stems.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking based on how sweet the berries are. You can create a lower-sugar option if you prefer.
- I like to add a little bit of lemon juice to my mulberry juice to give it some acidity. You can skip this if you don't have any lemon on hand.
- Instead of sugar, you can use honey or your preferred sweetener.
- Serve this juice cold instead of room temperature for the best experience.
- You could add ice cubes to the juice if you like.
- Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

A picnic under the mulberry tree is one I do every year with a friend. We collect so much mulberries but surprisingly I never made juice. So nxt time we have a picnic, juicing is the first thing I do.
