Remove the grapes from their stems.
Wash the grapes. Put all the grapes in a colander and rinse them in warm water. This will help to get rid of the pesticides and chemicals used to grow them.
Mash up the grapes. Use a potato masher until their juice begins to come out. An alternative to using a potato masher is to use a blender on pulse. Be sure not to blend them to a puree though.
Cook the grapes. Put the mashed grapes in a pot and cook them on medium heat for around 10 minutes. Mash up the grapes using a spoon or a potato masher if they start clumping up or retain their chunkiness.
Strain the juice. Put the sieve over a container or directly to a drinking glass. Pour the grapes into the sieve and then strain the mixture through. An alternative to using the sieve is using a cheesecloth. Put the cheesecloth over the pot and strain the mixture through (you might need to fold the cloth over twice). If you have a food mill, this would work beautifully.
Cool the juice. Remove the sieve or cheesecloth and put the juice in the refrigerator so it can cool, or pour the juice over ice in a drinking glass.
Finished.
