Rinse thawed berries under cold running water. Let the water drain.

Step 4:
Now you need to squeeze the juice out of the minted cranberries. To do this, take gauze, fold it in several layers and squeeze out the juice in small portions. Be careful, the gauze may burst if the pressure is too strong, it will take a long time to wash the kitchen (based on personal experience).
Step 5:
Place the resulting juice in the refrigerator.
Step 6:
Pour the remaining pomace with cold water and put on fire. Add sugar.
Step 7:
Bring to a boil and cook for one minute, no more. Leave the pan with the future fruit drink to cool.
Step 8:
The cooled fruit drink must be strained. It can be done through a sieve, or through gauze.
