Ingredients

Preparation Method


To prepare the Blackberry Puree, start by washing the blackberries thoroughly. In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and water. Stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the blackberries to break down and the sugar to dissolve completely. Once done, remove from the heat and let it cool.

Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or a food processor. Blend until it forms a smooth puree. To remove the seeds, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve. Your Blackberry Puree is now ready.

Moving on to the Lemonade, the first step is to squeeze the lemons. Make sure to strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp. In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Now comes the fun part. Add the Blackberry Puree to the pitcher and stir to combine. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes and stir once more. Your Blackberry Lemonade is now ready.

To serve, pour the lemonade into glasses, garnish with a few fresh blackberries and a slice of lemon. Sit back, sip, and enjoy the sweet-tart symphony of flavors.
