Clean and Refreshing Red Shiso Juice
My mother prepares this and my children love it. It's a thirst quencher. My guests love this, so I've given them as gifts to take home. Enjoy the beautiful color and flavor that nature has given to us.
You can use 2 cups of vinegar instead of the citric acid. It's a concentrate, so dilute it before drinking. (Dilute depending on how sweet it is.) I made it rather low on sweetness with 350 g of sugar, if you want it sweeter or to serve to kids, add a bit more sugar. Recipe by Tamochan

Red shiso leaves are sold in bunches when it's time to make umeboshi (salted ume plums). I bought a 300 g bag.
- 2
Rip the leaves off the stems, since we'll only be using the leaves. Wash the leaves very well in water, and drain into a colander.
- 3
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot, add the red shiso leaves and simmer to extract their essence. When the leaves have lost their red color and turned green, the water will have turned purple. Simmer for about 5 minutes, and then either squeeze out the leaves and remove them, or strain the liquid through a sieve into another pot.
- 4
Return the strained liquid to the pot, add the sugar and dissolve. Turn off the heat and add the citric acid (or vinegar). When you mix it the liquid will turn a beautiful red.
- 5
Leave to cool, and store in the refrigerator. If you made too much you can freeze it. Dilute to taste.
- 6
Citric acid is sold at pharmacies. 50 grams costs about 400 yen.
- 7
Notes: I've tried grain vinegar and apple cider vinegar as the vinegar. If you add a tiny bit of salt to the concentrate, you can drink it as a sports drink.

Red Shiso Juice Red Shiso Juice
Every year, I whip together low sugar shiso juice, and since it pleases my friends whenever I share it with them, I figured this year, I'd publish the recipe. It's a mildly sweet, healthy shiso juice that you can drink as is.If it's too troublesome to strain the leaves in Step 3, you can omit that step, but straining makes it look nicer. Add sugar to taste. If it's too strong, dilute with carbonated or plain water. You can use the leftover shiso leaves for cooking. The vinegar aroma is strong right after steeping, but will fade after the leaves cool. Recipe by Crepemeter

Healthy Red Shiso Leaf Juice Healthy Red Shiso Leaf Juice
Our family recipe for shiso juice only has little water in it, so it is rich in shiso extract.I used to use citric acid previously, but now I use lemon juice, which is easy to get.(The photo shows double the amount of the recipe.)If you don't have enough leaves than what the recipe calls for, it's not a problem. In Step 7, I boiled the juice once because I used fresh lemon juice. If you are using bottled lemon juice or vinegar, you don't have to boil it. Just add the lemon juice or vinegar at Step 6 after turning off the heat. Recipe by La Land -
