To make the taste of this fruit drink more interesting, add a little red rowan to the chokeberry. Only a little! The berries of the chokeberry, which once came to us from North America, are much larger and sweeter than the red-fruited one.
Sort the berries, removing the branches. Crush the berries and sprinkle with sugar, let it brew for several hours. Peel the lemon, squeeze out the juice.
Put the rowan in a sieve, set over a bowl. Push, squeeze the juice.
Put the pomace in a saucepan, fill with bottled water, add the lemon zest, bring to a boil over low heat. If you want to get a drink with a spicy bitterness, also put a bunch of red mountain ash (slightly crush the berries). Boil 5 min.
Then remove from heat, leave covered for 20 minutes.
Mix the decoction with juice and honey, stir until the honey is completely dissolved. Serve warm or cold
