They are suitable as an ingredient for tea blends, muesli, baking, curries, chutneys or your own recipes. Because of their small size, they are easy to dose and add a natural fruit note to different preparations.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with many raisins, currants are usually smaller, darker and slightly more intense in taste. They bring a fine sweetness and a lightly tart fruit note. This makes them suitable for both sweet and savoury combinations.<\/p>\n<h3>Dried currants with fruity-sweet taste<\/h3>\n<p>Dried currants taste sweet, fruity and aromatic. You can use them on their own or combine them with other ingredients. They go especially well with apple pieces, cinnamon, orange peel, hibiscus, black tea, spices or nuts.<\/p>\n<p>They can also be an interesting addition to your own tea blends. Currants give the infusion a light fruit note and round off blends with herbs, fruits or spices.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small dark dried grapes<\/li>\n<li>Fruity-sweet taste with a fine tart note<\/li>\n<li>For tea blends, muesli, baking, curries and chutneys<\/li>\n<li>Also suitable for homemade fruit tea or spice blends<\/li>\n<li>Pairs well with apple, cinnamon, orange, hibiscus and black tea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Currants for tea and your own blends<\/h3>\n<p>Currants can give tea blends a natural fruity sweetness. They work especially well in fruit teas, spiced teas or black tea blends. In addition, they pair nicely with winter-style blends containing cinnamon and orange, but also with fruity combinations using apple and hibiscus.<\/p>\n<p>For a simple tea blend, you can combine currants with apple pieces, orange peel and a little cinnamon. They also create a rounded blend with black tea and add fruity depth.<\/p>\n<h3>Dried currants in cooking<\/h3>\n<p>Dried currants are versatile in the kitchen. They suit cakes, biscuits, muesli, porridge, bread, curries, chutneys or rice dishes. In savoury recipes, they bring a sweet-fruity contrast to spices, vegetables or nuts.<\/p>\n<p>If you use currants for baking, you can soak them briefly beforehand. This makes them softer and helps them spread more evenly in the dough. For muesli or porridge, you can use them directly.<\/p>\n<h3>Dried currants, raisins or sultanas?<\/h3>\n<p>Dried currants, raisins and sultanas are all dried grapes, but they differ in size, colour and taste. Currants are usually smaller and darker than sultanas. Their taste often feels more intense and slightly more tart.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to replace currants in a recipe, raisins or sultanas can be used depending on the dish. However, the taste will usually be milder and less concentrated. Currants are a good choice when you want a smaller, more aromatic dried fruit.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation as a simple currant infusion<\/h3>\n<p>For a simple infusion, add one to two teaspoons of currants to a tea strainer or filter. Pour boiling hot water over them and let the infusion steep for about five to ten minutes. The longer the currants steep, the more intense the fruity note becomes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also add currants directly to an existing tea blend. They go especially well with fruit tea, spiced tea or black tea.<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>100% currants.<\/p>\n<h3>A small currant fact<\/h3>\n<p>In German, there is the expression \u201cKorinthenkacker\u201d. It is used colloquially for someone who is extremely precise or overly pedantic. It has little to do with enjoying these small dried grapes, of course, but it shows how well-known currants have become in everyday language.<\/p>\n<h3>Storage<\/h3>\n<p>Store dried currants in a dry, cool and well-sealed place. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture and strong surrounding odours. This helps preserve their taste, colour and aroma for as long as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seedless, thin-skinned dried grapes with a dark colour<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation Dried Currants Tea<\/h3>\n<p>\ud83e\udd44 1\u20132 tsp dried currants<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f 100 \u00b0C<br \/>\n\u23f3 5\u201310 minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":52323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[352,393,378],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-50133","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all-products","product_cat-fruit-spices","product_cat-loose-leaf-tea","pa_herkunft-greece","pa_weight-100-g","pa_weight-200-g","pa_weight-400-g","pa_weight-50-g","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable","has-default-attributes","add-to-wishlist-before_image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dried Currants - TeaSense.ch<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dried currants with a fruity-sweet taste.
