About

Blackberries add a sweetness to tart lemonade in this Blackberry Lemonade. The blackberries are cooked down with water and sugar until they form a syrup-like consistency. Then it’s strained and mixed in with homemade lemonade. You’ll never go back to powdered mixes after trying Blackberry Lemonade!
