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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
This is the red shiso sold in the umeboshi (pickled plum) making section of the supermarket. One bag contains 320 to 340 g. If you remove the stems, you'll have about 300 g of leaves.
- 2
Only the leaves will be used. Wash well, and pat dry.
- 3
Juice the lemon. Strain off any pulp. You can use bottled lemon juice, but freshly squeezed juice is best.
- 4
Put the water and shiso leaves in a pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low-medium and simmer for 10 minutes. The volume will decrease, and the leaves will turn green.
- 5
Strain the liquid through a sieve lined with cotton gauze or a cheesecloth. Press the leaves lightly to extract more liquid.
- 6
Return the strained liquid to the pan, add sugar and heat again. Mix well to dissolve the sugar and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum.
- 7
Add the lemon juice, bring back to a boil and turn off the heat. As soon as you add the lemon juice, the liquid will turn a beautiful red color.
- 8
When the liquid is cool, transfer to a clean storage jar and store in the refrigerator.
- 9
Dilute with 2-3x water or soda water and enjoy. If you prefer a more concentrated flavor, serve the juice straight on the rocks, and drink it as the ice melts. It's delicious mixed with shochu (distilled clear liquor).
- 10
I made a version with lots of vinegar and less sugar. 300 g red shiso leaves, 1 liter water, 350 g sugar and 150 ml vinegar.

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

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 -
