Traditional Herbal Tea

Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried Black Currant Leaf in 250 ml of hot water (just under boiling) for 5 to 15 minutes. Strain and enjoy the refreshing and mildly tangy tea. This preparation can be enjoyed hot or chilled.

Cold Infusion

Place 2 teaspoons of Black Currant Leaf in 250 ml of cold water. Let it steep in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours, then strain. This method provides a subtly aromatic beverage perfect for warm days.

Additions to Enhance Your Infusion

You can easily adjust the flavor of your infusion by adding the following per 250 ml glass:

Lemon Juice: Add 1–2 teaspoons to brighten the herbal profile with a citrusy touch.
Orange Peel: Add ½ teaspoon of dried peel to introduce gentle sweetness and aromatic complexity.
Honey: Stir in 1 teaspoon for a naturally sweet finish.
Fresh Mint: Use 3–4 fresh leaves for a cooling and invigorating twist.
Ginger: Add a few thin slices or ¼ teaspoon of grated ginger for warmth and spice.

These additions allow you to personalize your tea experience, making each cup unique and enjoyable.

Suggested Blends / Combinations

Looking to explore new flavor profiles? This herbal tea pairs wonderfully with a range of other botanicals, allowing you to create unique infusions that suit your preferences. Here are a few suggestions to get you started, along with simple preparation tips:

Linden Flower: Offers a soft floral fragrance that balances the leaf’s naturally tangy character. Combine 1 teaspoon of Black Currant Leaf with 1 teaspoon of dried Linden Flower.
