Old Fashioned Black Currant Lemonade

1. 1

   (Boil the water and currants without the sugar until the fruit are soft. Sugar added too soon makes the currants tough, and they will not release their flavour.).

2. 2

   Cover the currants with 1 cup of water and boil until the fruit is soft.

3. 3

   Strain the mixture, keeping only the juice.

4. 4

   Add 1 cup of sugar to the juice and reheat.

5. 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, then place in refrigerator until ready to use.

6. 6

   When ready to serve, add ice cubes and the squeezed lemon halve to the chilled glass.

7. 7

   For one serving of lemonade use equal parts syrup and equal parts cold water with juice from a half a lemon.
