Blank-freeze for vitamin juice
This year I tried to freeze the collection of the leaves of currant, raspberry, strawberry, etc. for the winter version of Morse. Liked the idea, I will do in the future. Let's try to you, because in these sheets contains a lot of vitamins, no less than in the berries, and place in the freezer an order of magnitude less than frozen berries. As an idea?

Ingredients

  • Leaf currant

  • Mint

  • Sheet raspberry

  • Sheet cherry

Cooking

step-0
Take fresh gathered leaves of black currant, raspberry, cherry, strawberry, sea buckthorn and mint (or lemon balm). They wash well, dry very well. It is better to take the leaves young. To me when I decided to freeze the case, were the leaves are already not very young, sea-buckthorn and completely forgot...))
step-1
Carve into portions so that each portion was evenly distributed all leaflets. Folding into packages, in a simple p/e or in a special freezer. Give the package a flat shape, the exhaust air and put into the freezer. Takes up little space, only in the process of freezing the leaves become very brittle and fragile, so try to keep either on the side or top, and often, to shift them in the freezer. I kept the top plastic jars with frozen berries.
step-2
As needed take out and not defrosting, boil the juice, adding some frozen red currants or frozen rhubarb (or both together) for color.
step-3
You can also freeze separately raspberry leaves and brew them in the cold. This year I want to try. Recently I read that raspberry leaves - a great antipyretic.
