Ingredients

Blackberry Thyme Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar - I use organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme

Assembly

  • ice cubes

  • extra thyme for garnish

Instructions

Blackberry Thyme Syrup

  1. To a saucepan, add the blackberries, sugar, water, and thyme. Bring to a gentle boil. Once the blackberries have started to soften, gently mash them by a wooden spatula.

  2. Adjust the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Strain the mixture into a bowl. Press the mixture to get as much liquid as possible. Let it cool. 

Assembly

  1. In a glass, put ice cubes then pour sparkling water. Then pour the blackberry syrup and squeeze lemon juice into it. Give it a stir, garnishing with fresh thyme and a slice of lemon. Please adjust the amount of syrup and lemon juice to your liking.
