Blackcurrant Lemon Verbena Shrub Recipes
CASSIS (BLACKCURRANT) AND LEMON VERBENA TEA - TISANE - INFUSION
A lovely soothing and restorative tisane or tea that is made by steeping black currants and fresh lemon verbena leaves in boiling water, then strained and sweetened to taste with brown sugar or honey. I've used a bag of black currant tea in place of the black currant berries with lovely results, as it is difficult to source fresh or frozen black currants here in my town. Next time I may add a spoonful of currant jam to my tea (a la Russian style), as well. The tisane - tea may be served either hot, or chilled over ice. From 'Herbal Pleasures'. Black currants are very rich in many phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, essential fatty acids and minerals. In particular, black currants are renowned for their high content in Vitamin C and potassium. They have been shown to have twice the potassium of bananas, four times the vitamin C of oranges, and twice the antioxidants of blueberries. Lemon verbena has traditionally been used to treat asthma, fever, colds, flatulence, stomach upset and diarrhea, and for its relaxing effects in teas.

Steps:
- Pour the boiling water over the black currants and lemon verbena leaves and leave to infuse for about 5 minutes, or longer to taste.
- Strain the liquid into cups or tall heat-resistant glasses and decorate with a sprig of lemon verbena.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in 1 teaspoon of brown sugar or honey.
- *Note: I have made this tea-tisane using currant tea and/or juice in place of the currants, with delicious results.

Steps:
- First, sterilise a large jar or bottle. Wash in hot, soapy water, then place on a baking tray and put in a low oven for 10 mins or until completely dry. Put the blackcurrants in the warm sterilised jar and set aside. Make an infusion with 500ml boiling water and the lemon verbena, then stir through the sugar. Pour over the blackcurrants, stir and leave to cool. Cover with a lid, then put in the fridge. Every day for about 5 days, gently shake the jar.
- By this time, the fruit should have macerated in the sugary tea. Tip into a pan with the vinegar and gently bring to a very light simmer for about 5 mins. Allow to cool to room temperature, then strain through a muslin-lined, fine mesh sieve into a large, sterilised jar and seal with a lid.
- Keep it in the fridge and serve topped up with fizzy or still water - add a sprig of fresh verbena or lemon balm if you like. Will keep in the fridge for up to 4 months.
