Black currant comes from the family of berries and is widely consumed as a juice. Black currant juice is one of the healthiest juices.It is made using black currant fruits. To make this juice at home all you need is a food processor. Just pour in all the freshly washed berries in a processor and crush it well. Squeeze through a cheesecloth for pure juice, then use the fruit pulp to a quick boil for a 2nd run of juice. Put the fruit pulp from the cheesecloth into a saucepan. Add the water and bring to a boil and allow to simmer for about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain the juice through the cheesecloth one last time. Discard the fruit pulp. Add the previously squeezed pure juice to the cooled juice mixture. Sweeten with sugar to taste.
