Prepare the passion fruit: Wash the passion fruits thoroughly. Cut each passion fruit in half. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the pulp (seeds and juice) from each half into a blender. Discard the rinds.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Blend the mixture: Add the 3 cups of cold water and your starting amount of sugar (e.g., 1/4 cup) to the blender with the passion fruit pulp. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the seeds are broken down and the mixture is well combined. The seeds will become finer.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Strain the juice: Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the sieve. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press down on the solids in the sieve, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining pulp and seeds.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Adjust sweetness and serve: Taste the strained juice. If it's too tart, add more sugar, a tablespoon at a time, stirring well until dissolved. Continue tasting and adjusting until it reaches your desired sweetness. Serve the jugo de parchita immediately, chilled, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve over ice if desired.
