How To Make old fashioned black currant lemonade

• 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.
