How to make blackcurrant juice

A tasty fruit drink is good because the heat treatment of the berries is minimal, which means that vitamins and other necessary substances do not have time to break down and are preserved in the drink.

If you find recipes with photos, blackcurrant juice looks different, that is, it has a more or less saturated color. It all depends on the amount of water: a more concentrated drink has a darker color. The amount of sugar can be varied to suit your taste.

The traditional recipe requires the following ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. black currants (fresh or frozen);
• 2 liters of ordinary drinking water;
• ½ tbsp. Sahara.

Preparation

Place the frozen berries, without defrosting, in a wide bowl. Wash fresh berries first. Mash the currants with a mortar or rolling pin, transfer the pulp to cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice. Pour water over the berry pulp and place over medium heat. When the broth begins to boil, cover the pan tightly with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. It is important to avoid boiling or keep it to a minimum.

Strain the broth, mix with juice, sweeten with sugar and pour into a jug or jar. Drink completely cooled or chilled.

If you want to get a richer taste and color of the drink, you can prepare it differently (the number of ingredients is the same). The crushed berries, filled with water, need to be boiled over low heat for 5-8 minutes, then strain. Squeeze the remaining berries in the sieve through cheesecloth. Combine the squeezed broth with the main one, add sugar or honey to taste.
