Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 8 ounces sparkling water (unflavored)
  • 1/2 cup ice

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, 2 sprigs of thyme, and brown sugar. Cook on low heat until the blackberries soften, for about 5 minutes.
  2. Using a fork or spoon, mash each blackberry to release its juice and cook for a few minutes more until the blackberry juice is infused with the thyme and the brown sugar is well combined with the liquid.
  3. Pour the infused blackberry mixture through a small strainer or cheesecloth over a small bowl to strain the juice. Save the blackberry pulp if desired.
  4. Pour the sparkling water over the ice and then add 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of the infused blackberry thyme juice.
  5. Garnish with blackberries and a sprig of thyme. Enjoy!
