Tincture made from red currants
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Red currant gives the infusion a beautiful color and excellent taste. However, it has almost no aroma, which is why mint is added. If you don't like mint, you can omit it entirely or replace it with lemon balm sprigs. You can reduce the amount of sugar to your taste.
