A sweet blackberry syrup mellows mouth-puckering limes in an intensely fruity (and kid-friendly) drink. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh lime juice (from 8 to 12 limes) |
1 2/3 cups superfine granulated sugar |
1 qt cold water |
2 tablespoons blackberry syrup, store-bought (see shopping list, page 160) or homemade (see cooks' note, below) |
garnish: thin lime slices |
Directions:
1. Stir together all ingredients in a pitcher until sugar is dissolved. Serve over ice.
2. Cooks' note: To make blackberry syrup, heat 1/4 cup blackberry jam with 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until jam is dissolved. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Syrup keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
