Categories     Drink

Time 15m

Yield approx 1 litre

Number Of Ingredients 6

600g blackcurrants , washed and stems removed
4 tbsp dried or fresh lemon verbena leaves
300g sugar
400ml raw cider vinegar
fizzy or still water , to serve
lemon verbena or lemon balm sprig, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • First, sterilise a large jar or bottle. Wash in hot, soapy water, then place on a baking tray and put in a low oven for 10 mins or until completely dry. Put the blackcurrants in the warm sterilised jar and set aside. Make an infusion with 500ml boiling water and the lemon verbena, then stir through the sugar. Pour over the blackcurrants, stir and leave to cool. Cover with a lid, then put in the fridge. Every day for about 5 days, gently shake the jar.
  • By this time, the fruit should have macerated in the sugary tea. Tip into a pan with the vinegar and gently bring to a very light simmer for about 5 mins. Allow to cool to room temperature, then strain through a muslin-lined, fine mesh sieve into a large, sterilised jar and seal with a lid.
  • Keep it in the fridge and serve topped up with fizzy or still water - add a sprig of fresh verbena or lemon balm if you like. Will keep in the fridge for up to 4 months.

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups (10 ounces) fresh black currants, stems removed
1 cup sugar
2 cups brandy or Cognac

Steps:

  • Using a potato masher, mash currants in a medium saucepan. Add sugar and 1 cup water; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and fruit has released all juices, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat; stir in brandy or Cognac. Transfer to a glass jar. Seal tightly, and refrigerate 1 week.
  • Strain mixture through a sieve into a medium bowl. Pour again through sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean jar. Refrigerate at least 1 week before using, to allow flavors to develop.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially the blackcurrants and lemon verbena. Fresh herbs and fruits will give your tea a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh blackcurrants, you can use frozen or dried blackcurrants. Just be sure to thaw the frozen blackcurrants before using them.
  • You can adjust the amount of honey or sugar to taste. If you like your tea sweeter, add more honey or sugar. If you prefer a less sweet tea, use less honey or sugar.
  • This tea can be served hot or cold. If you want to serve it cold, simply let it cool to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator.
