- You could mash the berries with a fork or potato masher to break them up and allow more of their juices.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness/tartness to your preference.
- Strain the blackberry syrup through a fine mesh strainer and discard the blackberry puree and seeds.
- Pour the syrup into jars or bottles then allow to cool completely.
- To serve, pour the syrup over ice cubes into a large pitcher and top up with still or sparkling water/club soda.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve.
Notes
- This syrup also makes a delicious cocktail by adding a shot of vodka or white rum to the glass before pouring over the homemade lemonade.
