It's no secret that the most healthy drink is fruit drink, especially if it is redcurrant fruit drink. There is a lot of vitamin C in these berries, a drink from them strengthens the immune system, prevents diseases: flu, SARS, colds - it is healthy and tasty. It is especially recommended that children drink this fruit drink, but since red currants are very acidic, be sure to add granulated sugar or honey when cooking. To preserve all the benefits in the drink as much as possible, first the juice is squeezed from the berries, then the cake is brought to a boil in sweetened water and cooled, so that syrup is obtained, and the juice is added to the syrup after it has cooled.

Ingredients

• 250-300 g of frozen red currant
• 2 tbsp. l honey
• 700 ml of water

Cooking

  1. Put the currants in a deep bowl - a bowl or salad bowl, bowl.

  2. Pour cold water to defrost the berries on top, and immediately pour it, since the berries in the water will become soft in 2-3 minutes and will cease to hold their shape. We clean the berries from brushes, stems, leaflets, etc., if this was not done by you in due time before freezing. If frozen currants were purchased in a supermarket and, therefore, they have already been cleared of all this - just rinse it.

  3. Pour into a container with high sides, so that when pressing around, do not splatter anything. We compress it with a press for boiled potatoes or another special device for obtaining juice.

  4. Pour the juice from the berries into another container and leave for later.

  5. The cake will be moved to a saucepan or stewpan, pour hot water and place on the stove, turning on medium heat. Since when boiling a significant part of the useful vitamins and minerals is lost, we will not boil the contents of the pan, but simply bring it to a boil when a light foam appears on the surface of the liquid. The cake should not sink to the bottom.

  6. Strain the hot liquid with cake through a strainer and remove the cake - he gave his color and useful vitamins, so we no longer need. Cool the hot liquid to room temperature for 1 hour, and then add honey or granulated sugar if there is no honey. However, with honey, the drink is more beneficial.
