After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the juice into a clean bowl, pressing the grapes to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the skins and seeds.
6. Optional Flavor Boost:
For an extra refreshing twist, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the strained grape juice. This is optional but adds a nice tangy flavor to the juice.
7. Chill and Serve:
Pour the juice into a jug and refrigerate until chilled. You can serve it over ice cubes for a refreshing drink.
