Why pay $2 for 8 ounces of ready to drink Tart Cherry Juice?
One Quart of Concentrate will make 32-8 ounce glasses of juice.
Mix your Tart Cherry Juice at home for less.
Cherry juice can be either put in the freezer or refrigerator.
It doesn't freeze solid, so it can be kept right in the bottle which
is very “shelf stable”.
The easy 8-to-1 recipe is comprised of 1/2
cup of concentrate and 3 1/2 cups of water. Many like it
stronger, so experiment to suit your own taste.
Cherry Concentrate Information
Michigan State University has been researching the benefits
of tart cherries and they have found that the anthocyanins and
antioxidants in tart cherries are ten times stronger than aspirin
or ibuprofen.
Tart cherries reduce the pain of arthritis, gout and
headaches. It has also been suggested that tart cherries are good
for kidney stones, gallbladder ailments and tooth decay as well
as cholesterol reduction.
Eating twenty cherries daily could cut
the risk of heart attack by 30%. Plus, tart cherries contain Perillyl
alcohol, a natural chemical that flushes cancer-causing
substances out of the body, and also helps stunt the growth of
cancerous cells. Perillyl alcohol is so powerful, it can slash the
incidence of all types of cancer as much as fifty percent.
May we suggest that you try our concentrate with water, other
juices, milk (yes, milk, it is like a milkshake without the work),
and yogurt! Try it over cereal, ice cream or whatever may sound
good to you! We recommend that two tablespoons a day may
keep the pain away!
Directions:
Ratio is 8 to 1. For concentrate
Mix 2 tablespoons to 8 ounces of water or beverage. or a pitcher ad 8 parts water to one part concentrate. Add more concentrate for your liking.
Our Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate is made solely with
Montmorency tart cherries with no additives or preservatives.
Our juice is concentrated to 68 degrees Brix. When your
concentrate arrives at your door it should be refrigerated or
frozen.
Shelf life is longest in the freezer although storing
concentrate in the refrigerator will make it easier to pour.
Two tablespoons of concentrate is equivalent to 160 cherries.
