Make Blackberry Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of blackberries and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the blackberries break down. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids to get the syrup. Let it cool and store in the refrigerator.
