Follow The Directions

01

Step

10 mins

In a heatproof bowl, gently crush the blackberries. Pour the boiling water over the berries, allowing them to steep and release their flavor. Let this mixture sit undisturbed until the steam subsides (approximately 10 minutes).

02

Step

5 mins

Strain the blackberry infusion into a pitcher, discarding the solids. Stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. This ensures a smooth and balanced sweetness.

03

Step

2 mins

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

04

Step

30 mins

Cover the pitcher and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled (at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor).

05

Step

1 mins

Serve the Blackberry Lemonade over ice. Garnish with a few fresh blackberries or a lemon slice for an elegant touch.

For a less sweet lemonade, reduce the amount of sugar to your preference. You can also substitute the sugar with honey or agave nectar.
If you prefer a stronger berry flavor, muddle the blackberries more thoroughly before adding the boiling water.
Feel free to experiment with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a unique twist on this recipe.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your taste, keeping in mind that blackberries naturally mellow the tartness of the lemons.
For a sparkling lemonade, top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water before serving.
