Blackberry Simple Syrup

Blackberry Simple Syrup

Since the blackberries I recently bought were much too tart to eat plain, I decided to use some of them to make this blackberry simple syrup. You can use this simple syrup to make Italian sodas, flavored lemonade, and adult beverages. It’s super simple to make and is great to have on hand.

    1. Espresso Jo,

      I’ve never tried using anything other than sugar so I’m not sure. If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes!

  2. Pour this syrup into a plastic container and freeze. When ready to use, scoop out into a glass and add club soda. Adults may wish to add vodka or gin! I do this with rhubarb and strawberries too!
