Ingredients
- 1 cup Blackberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 cups (divided) Water
- 4 whole Lemons
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Add the blackberries, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries begin to break down and the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 4
Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the blackberry syrup into a bowl, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 5
Juice the 4 lemons into a large pitcher, removing seeds but leaving some pulp if desired.
Step 6
Add the strained blackberry syrup and the remaining 2 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Taste the lemonade and add more sugar if needed, stirring until dissolved.
Step 8
Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the blackberry lemonade over the ice.
Step 9
Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired, and serve chilled.
