Frênette (ash-leaf drink, cidre de frêne)frênette
Frênette is a light, fizzy country drink made by fermenting sugared water flavoured with ash leaves. Modern recipes infuse the leaves, add sugar, roasted chicory or orange peel and a little tartaric or citric acid, ferment with brewer's yeast for about ten days, then bottle it to build fizz. Older versions are said to have used only the leaves, with sugar from ash manna and aphid honeydew.

At a glance
Frênette is a light, fizzy country drink made by fermenting sugared water flavoured with ash leaves. Modern recipes infuse the leaves, add sugar, roasted chicory or orange peel and a little tartaric or citric acid, ferment with brewer's yeast for about ten days, then bottle it to build fizz. Older versions are said to have used only the leaves, with sugar from ash manna and aphid honeydew. Made in 4 steps over 17 days – 31 days. The longest step, bottle and let it build fizz, takes 7–21 days (PasseportSanté 2021).
Frênette is flavoured with ash leaves rather than fruit, so almost all its sugar is added. Like a small beer or ginger beer, it is a short ferment finished in sealed bottles for fizz.
Original frênetteSaid to use only ash leaves, with sugar from ash manna and the honeydew of the aphid Gossyparia ulmi (fr WP).
Orange-peel frênette20 g ash leaves boiled 30 minutes with the peel of four oranges in 2 L water, then 1 kg sugar, 20 g citric acid and 16 L water.
Safety
The recipe page bottles the drink in carefully corked bottles tied down with wire, and lists thick-glass bottles made for cider or beer among the supplies. The drink builds its fizz in the bottle.
The bitter bark of young ash twigs was long used against fever, which earned the tree the name "quinquina of Europe" (Häne and Kaennel Dobbertin). Ash leaves steeped in sugared water give frênette, a tonic, refreshing drink with a very old tradition in some regions of France.
