Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Blackberry Lemonade.
Step 1
Begin by creating a simple syrup: in a small saucepan, mix together 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water.
Step 2
Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar fully dissolves, which should take about two minutes.
Step 3
Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
Step 4
Next, grab your blender and add the fresh blackberries along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Step 5
Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency, ensuring the blackberries are well incorporated.
Step 6
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup, the blackberry puree, 4 cups of water, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Step 7
Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors together.
Step 8
For a refreshing finish, place a fine-mesh sieve over the pitcher and pour the lemonade through it to catch any solids.
Step 9
Discard the solids and serve this delightful blackberry lemonade over ice cubes for a refreshing treat.
Step 10
Enjoy the vibrant flavors and the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness in every sip!.
