Instructions

Rinse the blackberries under cold water and remove any stems.
Blend the blackberries with 500 ml of water until you get a very smooth purée.
Pass the mixture through a fine sieve, pressing to remove the seeds.
Add the sugar and the remaining water, then stir until dissolved.
Taste and adjust the sugar, or add a splash of lime juice if you want more freshness.
Serve well chilled with ice cubes in glasses.

Variations and tips

Version with what's available here. Andean blackberries are rare outside South America: use wild blackberries or blueberries, and add a little more lime juice to keep the tang.
