Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- Fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the blackberries under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat the berries dry with a paper towel.
- Combine the blackberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. If using fresh mint, add a few sprigs to the pan as well.
- Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir the mixture occasionally to help dissolve the sugar and keep the blackberries from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the blackberries soften.
- Remove from heat and allow the blackberry juice mixture to cool slightly.
- Strain the juice into a container using a strainer, pressing down on the blackberries to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the leftover pulp and seeds. Remove the mint sprigs as well.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness of the blackberry juice as needed. If you add more sugar, stir the juice well to dissolve it completely.
- Cover the container and refrigerate the fresh blackberry juice until chilled. You can also serve it immediately over ice.
Notes
- Diluting with Water: If you find the blackberry juice too intense, dilute it with a little water to achieve your preferred taste and consistency. You can gradually add water until it reaches the desired balance.
