Do not be fooled by the uncomplicated nature of this blackberry simple syrup. This liquid has elevated more drinks and desserts than I can count. I use blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water, and in just 15 minutes, I have a striking, sweet, and slightly tart syrup that adds instant flavor and personality to anything it touches.

Bring the water, sugar, berries and lemon juice to a boil in a medium pot.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Using the back of a fork, spatula or a potato masher, mash the berries to release the juices.
Pour the syrup through a sieve to remove all seeds and pulp.
Transfer the syrup to a sterilized glass jar.
Store in the fridge for up to a month.
