Christian Stubø:
 >It is a fruitflavoured concentrate you dilute with water - I'd say
typically 1 part concentrate to 4 or 5 parts water, but some like it
stronger (particularly kids), and some prefer it weaker (particularly
parents, who'd prefer it that kids drink it weak too).  It is a bit
like Koolaid based on liquid rather than on powder.  One producer is
Ribena:

Ribena black currant is absolutely yummy. REALLY good. Mixes well with 
water or with 7-Up (lemon-lime soda) or with plain "fizzy water". Also kind 
of nice to add a half teaspoon or so to a cup of tea. I can usually find it 
in Oriental markets here in Austin. Go figure. <grin> I was introduced to 
it by someone whose parents are from Germany.

I'm having Ribena withdrawal symptoms now....
