Grape Juice, Hyderabad

All over Hyderabad

Another Hyderabadi institution is grape juice. Being typical, diahorrea-fearing tourists, we asked our waiter if it was mineral water that they used in the juice, or tap water. His reply: "Sir, its grape juice, no? Only grapes." And boy, he did mean just grapes, skins and all. Thick, rich and straight from the press..with texture like that, it's unlikely that there was any machinery apart from the hand involved. Can you imagine puting grapes into a juicer one by one? It'd drive me crazy. Nonetheless, it was a much appreciated beverage in the heat of summer. Though if you're like me, you'd probably finish it in less than five minutes!
