This is my go to recipe for hosting book club and showers. I recently made it to host a farmers market themed shower for future foster parents. We had fruits and herbs to add your self to infuse their drinks.
Grab frozen blackberries from the store for an easy shortcut. I keep a bag on hand for this or a quick skillet cobbler.

Blackberry Lemonade
INGREDIENTS
▢ 1 3/4 cups + 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar or sugar substitute that measures equal to sugar such as monk fruit

▢ Ice
▢ Lemon slices and blackberries for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS

1 ¾ cups + 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
In a blender, combine blackberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Blend until pureed. Press blackberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to get as much liquid through as possible, then discard solids
