Description
Refreshing limeade made with fresh blackberries and mint. An easy summer drink!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh/frozen Blackberries
- 12 leaves Mint, Plus Extra For Garnishing
- 5 Tablespoons White Sugar
- 1-½ cup Water, Divided
- 2 whole Limes, Juiced, Or As Per Taste
- Ice For Serving
- Lime Slices, Optional For Garnish
Preparation
In a pot, bring blackberries, mint leaves, sugar and 1 cup of the water to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the blackberries start to break apart. Using a wooden spoon smash the blackberries and mint, remove from heat and let it cool. Strain it into a bowl or pitcher and discard the solids.
Into it add the remaining 1/2 cup water and lime juice. If you feel a lot of the water evaporated during cooking, you can add a little more water. Stir it all around and taste for sweetness and tang. At this point, if you want, you can cover it and let it chill in refrigerator.
Serve in glasses filled with ice and garnish with some fresh mint leaves and lime slices. Enjoy immediately!
