Wash the red grapes and remove them from the stems.
Crush the grapes and layer them in a glass jar with cracked black mustard seeds.
Add the sour cherry leaves, granulated sugar, and water to the jar.
Ferment the jar in a cool 20 to 22°C place for at least 7 days; the authentic version takes 15 to 20 days, so track the remaining days manually because the timer is limited to 24 hours.
Strain the hardaliye into bottles and serve chilled from the refrigerator.
💡 Tip: Lightly cracking the mustard seeds releases aroma without making the drink harsh; keep it at 20 to 22°C for at least 7 days, or track 15 to 20 days manually for the authentic version.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold in glasses with unsalted nuts and a cheese plate.
