1
Wash the Cranberries
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
2
Boil the Cranberries
In a large pot, combine the washed cranberries and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and softened.
4
Strain the Juice
Remove the pot from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible.
5
Sweeten the Juice
Add 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the strained juice. Stir well until the sugar fully dissolves.

6
Chill and Serve
Let the cranberry juice cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice, if desired.
