How to cook deliciously - Refreshing currant fruit ice

1 . Stage

I start the preparation with the syrup. To do this, we take an ordinary mug with a capacity of 200 ml, and fill it with 100 grams of sugar.

2 . Stage

Pour boiling water to the edge of the mug and stir. Set the syrup aside, it needs to cool a bit.

3 . Stage

Peel the berries and rinse well.

4 . Stage

Grind the berries with a blender into a purée, add the lemon, and grind again. I had a very large lemon, so I did not take a quarter, but cut off a circle about 1.5 cm thick and remove the zest. If you want, you can just squeeze the juice into the puree.

5 . Stage

Add the syrup prepared earlier to the resulting mass, it should have cooled down a bit. Gently stir it and leave it for a few minutes. If you like chunky berries in the dessert, feel free to go to the next step. If you prefer a more homogeneous consistency, you will have to linger a little longer. :) Since currants have very small seeds, and the skin of berries is also clearly felt in the resulting puree, I recommend rubbing the mass through a double layer of gauze or through a fine sieve. In this way, the result will be homogeneous ice without any pieces of berries.

6 . Stage

We distribute the mass in the molds. The specified amount was enough for 6 special molds and 1 regular shot glass, this extra portion will be very useful for determining the degree of freezing (and taking the first sample ;))). If you do not have special molds, you can use any convenient containers: plastic cups, shot glasses, silicone molds, etc. We send it to the freezer and wait. The waiting time depends only on the capacity of your freezer.

Make sure the mass is well frozen, and enjoy the wonderful summer flavor and aroma of berries! To get the finished ice out of the mold, dip it in hot water for a few seconds. Have a good one on these hot days! :)
