How do you dilute pure cranberry juice?

Diluting pure cranberry juice involves mixing it with water or another liquid to reduce its tartness and acidity. Here are the steps on how to dilute pure cranberry juice:

1. Determine the desired dilution ratio: Choose a dilution ratio based on your personal preference. A common dilution ratio is 1:3 (one part cranberry juice to three parts water).

2. Select a suitable container: Choose a container that can hold the diluted cranberry juice. A pitcher, a large mixing bowl, or a tall glass can be used.

3. Measure the cranberry juice: Using a measuring cup, pour the desired amount of pure cranberry juice into the container.

4. Add water: Based on the chosen dilution ratio, add the corresponding amount of water to the container. For a 1:3 dilution, add three times the amount of water as the cranberry juice.

5. Stir or mix: Use a spoon or whisk to stir or mix the cranberry juice and water until they are well combined and evenly distributed.

6. Taste and adjust: Taste the diluted cranberry juice and adjust the dilution ratio if needed. If you prefer a stronger flavor, add more cranberry juice. If you want it more diluted, add more water.

7. Chill (optional): If you prefer your diluted cranberry juice cold, you can place it in the refrigerator or add some ice cubes to chill it.

8. Serve: Pour the diluted cranberry juice into glasses and serve. You can garnish with a slice of orange, lime, or a fresh cranberry for an extra touch.

By following these steps, you can dilute pure cranberry juice to your desired taste and enjoy a refreshing and less tart beverage.
