Vitamin C Blackcurrant Boost
Purpose:
This simple concoction is light, fruity and a perfectly refreshing drink for summer afternoons, full of lots of protective antioxidant power from the phytochemicals in blackcurrants and apples. Alternatively for winter, why not spice things up with a fine grating of mace to taste, and serve warmed as a 'flu-fighter'.
Serves:
One 200ml glass
Ingredients:
- 45g fresh or thawed blackcurrants
- 160ml good quality cloudy apple juice
- 10ml elderflower cordial
Directions:
Press the blackcurrants through a sieve, discarding the pulp that's left behind. Add the blackcurrant juice you have made to the other ingredients and stir them together.
Note:
30ml bought blackcurrant juice can be substituted in place of fresh made juice.
