Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 qt fresh black currants
1 c cold water
1 c white sugar
2 lemons

Steps:

  • 1. Please Note * Boil the water and currants without the sugar until the fruit are soft. Adding the sugar too soon makes the currants tough, and they will not release their flavor.
  • 2. Cover the currants with 1 cup of water and boil until the fruit is soft.
  • 3. Strain the mixture, keeping only the juice.
  • 4. Add 1 cup of sugar to the juice and reheat.
  • 5. Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened a little pour the black currant syrup into a jar and seal, allow to cool; when cooled place in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • 6. When ready to serve, add ice cubes and the squeezed lemon halve to the chilled glass.
  • 7. For one serving of lemonade use equal parts syrup and equal parts cold water with juice from a half a lemon.
