Mulberry Recipes / Healthy Mulberry Ade
Mulberries, the fruit from the mulberry tree, offer a delightful sweetness. In times past, when snacks were scarce, they were a beloved treat for children. Nowadays, mulberries are gaining recognition as a superfood, embodying the essence of healthy black foods. Here are three unique and delicious ways to enjoy mulberries. * How to Wash Mulberries* 1. Fill a bowl with enough water to cover the mulberries and add a little vinegar. 2. Soak the mulberries in the vinegar-water for about 30 seconds. 3. Gently swirl to wash them. 4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water 2-3 times. 5. Drain well.
Ingredients- 100g Mulberries
- A few sprigs of Apple Mint (for garnish)
- 3 Tbsp Honey (adjust to taste)
- 7 Ice Cubes
- 250ml Sparkling Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing the mulberries. Fill a bowl with enough water to submerge the mulberries and add a splash of vinegar. The vinegar helps to gently clean any impurities from the berries.
Step 2
Let the mulberries soak in the vinegary water for about 30 seconds. Then, gently swirl them to wash without crushing the delicate berries. After that, rinse them under clean running water 2 to 3 times to ensure they are thoroughly clean.
Step 3
Once washed, drain the mulberries well using a sieve. It’s important to remove excess water so your ade isn’t diluted. Let them drain completely.
Step 4
Now, let’s create the base for your mulberry ade. In a blender, combine the drained mulberries, a few fresh apple mint leaves for a refreshing aroma, and 3 tablespoons of honey (or more, to your sweetness preference). Blend until smooth. The apple mint adds a wonderful subtle fragrance.
Step 5
Prepare your serving glass by filling it generously with ice cubes. About 7 cubes should do the trick for a perfectly chilled drink.
Step 6
Pour the smooth mulberry puree from the blender over the ice. The rich, deep purple color of the mulberries will make for a beautiful drink.
Step 7
Finally, top up the glass with 250ml of sparkling water for a delightful fizz. Gently stir everything together to combine. Garnish with an extra apple mint sprig if you like, and enjoy your vibrant and healthy mulberry ade!
