Why is no sugar added?

This is a sour base juice without sugar. It can be sweetened when served or used as a tart ingredient. Without sugar it keeps for a shorter time, so store cool.

Is hot-bottling safe today?

Clean the bottles and equipment thoroughly and store cool and dark. The historic sealing methods should be supplemented with modern hygiene, and any juice showing signs of fermentation or mould discarded.
