The recipe for this ancient Russian drink was published in Domostroy. The word "fruit" originates in Byzantium: "mursa" there meant "water with honey." Actually, these two components have not changed since (unless sugar was used instead of honey). The main thing in this refreshing drink is the filling: both berry, fruit and vegetable. Moreover, in one fruit drink there may be several components. For example, the following fruit and vegetable juice: from apples and carrots.

note
There is an easier way to make berry juice. First you need the washed berries (currants, raspberries, strawberries, etc.) to put in a pan, pour water. Boil them over high heat until the berries burst. Then all this needs to be filtered through a fine sieve or linen napkin. The resulting juice can be diluted with hot or cold water, add sugar to taste and drink.
Useful advice
In order for the fruit drink to retain a maximum of vitamins, the juice and squeeze of berries or vegetables must first be separated, the squeezed boil, and only at the very end add fresh squeezed juice to the drink.
In any fruit drink, you can add a slice of lemon, orange or grated zest.
