Put the gilaburu berries in a sieve and briefly rinse them under cold water to soften the briny taste.
Crush the gilaburu in a deep bowl, add half the cold water, and wait 5 minutes.
Pass the mixture through a fine sieve and pour the remaining cold water over the pulp.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the strained gilaburu juice and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Chill the drink in the refrigerator for 10 minutes instead of using ice, then serve; ice quickly dilutes the aroma.
💡 Tip: Briefly rinse brined gilaburu first; adding the salty brine directly to the drink brings saltiness forward rather than sourness.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve gilaburu juice in a cold glass with optional walnut sucuk or plain roasted chickpeas.
