Morse from cherries and raspberries is a real storehouse of vitamins, plus a bright taste and color. Be sure to prepare this fruit drink in season. Usually these berries are at the same time at the peak of the season at the end of July. Especially tasty fruit drink is obtained from wild raspberries collected in the forest. But wild raspberries usually ripen later - and it is likely that then frozen cherries will have to be used for fruit drink.

Can I use frozen cherries and raspberries?

What can I substitute for star anise if I don't have any?

If you don't have star anise, you can use a small cinnamon stick or a few whole cloves for a similar warming spice note. Alternatively, you can omit it entirely.

How long does this cherry raspberry morse last in the refrigerator?

The morse will last for 2-3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.

Can I reduce the sugar content to make it healthier?

Yes, you can reduce the sugar according to your preference. Taste as you go and adjust to your liking. You could also use a sugar substitute, but be aware that this may affect the flavor slightly.

Can I freeze the cherry and raspberry morse?

Is there any way to make this more of a low carb beverage?
