Black currant is a very healthy berry.It’s great to brew teas from dried leaves for colds.
Yes, indeed, this is a miracle berry. I always dry the leaves and add them to the teapot - the tea becomes aromatic and fragrant.
And somehow I forget about the leaves. Basically, I just grind currants with sugar :)
