Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Fresh Blackberries Can be substituted with frozen blackberries without thawing.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Light brown sugar or simple syrup can be used as alternatives.
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Fresh Lemon Juice Fresh citrus is key; can mix in lime juice for a twist.
  • 6 cups Cold Water Adjust amount based on taste preference.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Pitcher

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of fresh blackberries and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir gently while mashing the blackberries with a fork until they burst and the sugar dissolves, around 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to develop flavors.
  3. Strain the blackberry mixture into a large pitcher using a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible.
  4. Add 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 6 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir until well combined.
  5. Chill the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve the Blackberry Lemonade over ice in tall glasses, garnished with lemon slices or fresh mint.

Notes

Taste as you go to adjust sweetness. Blend the blackberry mixture for a smoother texture if desired. Prepare ahead of time to let flavors deepen. Store leftover lemonade in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
