1
Wash the Berries
Thoroughly rinse the blackberries and blueberries under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
2
Prepare the Liquid Base
In a large pot, combine the water and apple juice. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

3
Combine Ingredients
Once the liquid base is boiling, add the blackberries, blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and the cinnamon stick. Stir well to combine.
4
Simmer
Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the berries to soften.
5
Strain the Mixture
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove solids.

6
Chill and Serve
Let the cider cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves as desired.
