Blackcurrant vitamin C drink
This simple concoction is light, fruity and a perfectly refreshing drink for summer afternoons, full of lots of protective antioxidant power from the phytochemicals in blackcurrants and apples. Alternatively for winter, why not spice things up with a fine grating of mace to taste, and serve warmed as a flu-fighter.
- Preparation: 5 mins
- Serves: 1
What you need:
- 45g fresh or thawed blackcurrants
- 160ml good quality cloudy apple juice
- 10ml elderflower cordial

British Blackcurrant Foundation
British blackcurrants are renowned and bred for their deep purple colour, which indicates a high level of anthocyanins (disease fighting antioxidants) that guard against ageing, joint inflammation, eyestrain, kidney stones, cardiovascular disease, cancer and urinary tract infections. Blackcurrants are also deliciously tasty and easy to incorporate into even the most hectic of schedules! Whether sprinkled in your porridge, baked into a pie or simply sipped as a juice.
