You can use the pulp of the berries to make jam, cakes, or even add to ice cream. Blackcurrant juice is administered internally, 15 minutes before eating, on an empty stomach. The regular daily dosage for an adult is 6-12 tablespoons and 5-10 tablespoons for children. You can take it with raw honey for an improved taste.
