Serves: 1 cup concentrated syrup
Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup to ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • Club soda to serve
Instructions
Blackberry Drinking Vinegar
  1. On medium-low heat, begin heating the blackberries and honey together. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to begin breaking down the blackberries.
  2. After about 10 minutes of allowing the mixture to cook, you should have about one cup of beautifully fragrant blackberry honey syrup. Allow this to sit until it is cool enough to handle.
  3. Using a strainer, cheesecloth, or even a dishtowel, carefully remove the blackberry solids by pressing the liquid through into another container. I ended up with ¾ of a cup of liquid once I removed the solids.
  4. Finally, pour this blackberry honey syrup into a jar and add ¼ cup to ½ cup apple cider vinegar. If you are a fan of kombucha and sour flavors, go closer to ½ cup, but if you are just looking for a zingy refreshing tang to your syrup, stick with closer to ¼ cup.
  5. To taste test, dip the end of a spoon into the syrup. As a reminder, this is concentrate, so it will taste strong no matter what! I loved both versions and just dilute into a drink depending on whether I want a stronger or weaker taste.

Notes
As the concentrated syrup sits in the fridge, the flavors will mellow out a bit. You can store the syrup in the fridge for up to one month.
