Redcurrant Juice

Redcurrant juice is a refreshing drink pressed from red, black or white currants. It has a distinctly tart flavour with a pleasant fruity aroma. It is most often prepared by pressing fresh berries at home, but it is also available as a commercially produced juice. In the kitchen, it is used as a base for fruit drinks, lemonades and cocktails. It is also suitable for sauces, marinades or for making jellies and desserts. Blackcurrant in particular is very high in vitamin C, making its juice especially nutritious. It can also be added to smoothies or used as a flavouring for yoghurts and ice cream.
