- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from approximately 8-10 lemons)
- 5 cups water divided
To serve
- Ice cubes
- extra granulated sugar for a sugar rim
- extra blackberries
- Lemon slice
Instructions
Make the blackberry syrup
- Add the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and 2 cups of the water to a medium saucepan, and heat over MED heat.
- Stir as it heats, until the sugar is dissolved. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries, bringing out the juices.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a mixing bowl, and pour the cooled blackberry syrup to the sieve. Strain to remove any seeds.
Make the lemonade
- To a large pitcher, add lemon juice, remaining 3 cups of water, and the cooled blackberry syrup.
- Stir to combine, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until well chilled.
Serve
- Rim glasses with a bit of water or lemon juice, then dip rims in granulated sugar.
- Add ice cubes to glasses, then pour in chilled blackberry lemonade. Top with a couple of fresh blackberries, and a lemon slice if desired.
Notes
- Listed recipe times don't include the time for the syrup to cool to room temp, as this will vary from person to person.
- I've estimated this recipe will serve about 8, but feel free to divide the recipe up into a many servings as you'd like.
