Method 1: Prepare The Cherry Juice
Use fresh (ripe and in season for the best flavor) or frozen (and thawed) cherries to make juice. You’ll need aproximately 2 to 2.5 cups of pitted cherries for making 40 ounces of cherry lemonade.
Transfer the fruit to the blender and blend until smooth and juicy. No need for added water. To remove the pulp, pass the cherry juice through a nut milk bag.
