Blackberry lemonade

Refreshing blackberry lemonade

This super refreshing blackberry lemonade is just what summer ordered. A great mocktail recipe for those of you who tend to skip the alcohol and want something special. Try going for 1/4 cup of maple syrup to start and then taste to adjust for sweetness.

Nice variations:

  • Don’t have blackberries? No worries, you can totally swap them for strawberries or raspberries – it’s all been tested and approved by my kiddos.
  • Blitz in a few mint leaves for extra freshness
  • Only put 2 cups of water and when serving, fill the glasses halfway and top them up with sparkling water

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice (around 4 lemons)
  • 4 cups / 1 liter filtered water
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Mix the lemon juice, water and maple syrup in a blender until maple syrup is diluted
  2. Pour 2/3 of the lemonade in a jug and leave the rest in the blender. Add blackberries and blitz until smooth. Strain in a fine sieve to take out the seeds. Pour the blackberry/lemonade mixture into the jug and stir.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to serve with ice cubes.
