Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh blackberries
- 0.25 cups Sugar
- 0.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cups Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer and the blackberries have softened (about 5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and use a fork or potato masher to mash the blackberries into a puree.
Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jug, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Mix the strained blackberry syrup with the lemon juice and let it cool to room temperature. Alternatively, chill in the refrigerator if desired.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour about 1/4 cup of blackberry syrup into each glass. Top with sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
