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
