Equipment

  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Small saucepan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup local honey
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, add blackberries and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes. 
  • Remove from heat and stir in honey and fresh lemon juice. For a thicker syrup, return to the heat and simmer for a few extra minutes.
  • Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve, using a spoon to press down on the berries and release as much juice as possible. Discard solids.
  • Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before using it in cocktails, tea, lemonade, and more.
