Blackberry Hibiscus Reduction

Lemonade

Method

Blackberry Hibiscus Reduction

  1. 1

    Prepare the Reduction

    In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, dried hibiscus flowers, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the blackberries have broken down and the liquid has reduced by half.

  3. 3

    Strain

    Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the Reduction

    Stir in 1 cup of sugar while the liquid is still warm, until fully dissolved. Allow to cool completely.

Lemonade

  1. 5

    Make the Lemonade Base

    In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, 4 cups of water, and 1 cup of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 6

    Combine with Reduction

    Once the blackberry hibiscus reduction has cooled, pour it into the pitcher with the lemonade base and stir well to combine.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the blackberry hibiscus lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to taste.
