Notes
- If using powdered blackcurrants follow the instructions on the package for substituting powdered for fresh berries in recipes.
- You may use powdered black currants to this drink instead of fresh or frozen. Frozen black currants or adding ice will turn the juice into a smoothie. Adding ice to drink after will make a juice.
- Black currants are bitter so add to your preferred taste especially if adding to other smoothies.
