Anyways... even we, cactuses of the world, drink. And summer is the best time of the year to try different fresh fruit drinks... and compotes. And since I adore red currants and don't really like black currants I decided to do something about it. I namely had too much black currents to just throw away so I made a compote.
And this is how it goes... Take a big pot - let's say about 2 - 2,5 litres. Cover the bootom of the pot with berries. I took mainly black currants, and added some red curants, raspberries and some gooseberries (slo. kosmulja). Add about two full teaspoons of brown sugar (I don't like sweet drinks, so you may have to add more).
The quantity of sugar depends on which berries you are using - black currant is not a very sour fruit, whereas red currant is.
Now add the water - stop at about 2 cm from the top. Put it on the stove and wait till it starts boiling. Stand beside the top as it tends to rise over the top!! :D
Turn down and leave to cool. Pour it through the stainer and add some ice cubes!
