‘Ribena’ Syrup

I LOVE RIBENA! This was my only craving while I was pregnant! My husband used to think Ribena was made of Ribenaberries – then found out it was made of blackcurrants. I really wanted to make a homemade version for the boys to try, but unfoooortunately I have never seen blackcurrants sold here in Australia, so I had to improvise a bit!

Mango Beer

Well…. I didn’t make the beer part, but I did make the mango part!

I’ve been thinking of making this for ages in the lead up to Oktoberfest!!! I’m not a beer drinker, but I am known to smash down a mango beer …or 2 …or 3 from the Bavarian Bier Cafe!!! But those type of nights are over now with 2 little boys!!

I topped the syrup with Corona Beer (the only beer I had in the house) and the feedback I got from my husband and friend was that it tasted just like the one from the Bavarian Bier Cafe!
