Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blackberries (+2 blackberries for garnish)
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 8 ounces sparkling water (unflavored)
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, 2 sprigs of thyme, and brown sugar. Cook on low heat until the blackberries soften, approximately 5 minutes.
- Mash the blackberries with a fork or spoon to release their juice and cook for a few more minutes until the blackberry juice is infused with the thyme and the brown sugar is well combined with the liquid.
- Strain the infused blackberry mixture through a small strainer or cheesecloth into a small bowl. Save the blackberry pulp if desired for adding to the spritzer or freezing for future use.
- Pour half of the sparkling water over ice, then add 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of the infused blackberry thyme juice.
- Garnish with blackberries and extra thyme sprigs.
