Cuisine: American

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups sparkling water
  • ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. 1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, thyme leaves, and honey (or agave syrup). Cook for about 5 minutes until the blackberries break down and release their juices.
  2. 2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. 3. In a separate pitcher, combine the strained blackberry-thyme syrup with fresh lemon juice and mix well.
  4. 4. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the blackberry-thyme mixture over the ice, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
  5. 5. Top each glass with sparkling water, stirring gently to combine, and garnish with additional blackberries and a sprig of thyme if desired.
