Refreshing blackberry and mint lemonade

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Lemonade is more than just lemon water. The base here is a fruit purée or syrup reminiscent of the 'shrub' technique, which locks in the blackberry aroma. The tartness of the blackberry and the acidity of the lemon form a perfect pair, while the essential oils of the mint provide a cooling sensation.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Blender
  • Fine sieve
  • Jug

Instructions

1 ✓

Blend the blackberries with the sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Tip: The sugar crystals help break down the fruit.
2 ✓

Pass the purée through a sieve to ensure no seeds end up in the drink.

Tip: Blackberry seeds can be unpleasant when drinking.
3 ✓

Pour the concentrate into the jug. Top up with the water.

Tip: If using sparkling water, only top up immediately before serving to keep the bubbles.
4 ✓

Place in the fridge for 1 hour to let the flavours marry.

Tip: Cold dulls sweetness, so taste before serving to see if it needs more sweetening.
5 ✓

Serve with ice and a mint leaf clapped between your palms.

Tip: Clapping the mint breaks the cell walls of the leaf, releasing essential oils without making the leaf bitter.

Recipe FAQ

Why isn't the sugar dissolving in cold water?
Cold liquid has lower saturation. It's worth dissolving the sugar in a little hot water or lemon juice first (making a syrup).
