Enter the Blackberry Mint Juice – a delightful blend of sweet blackberries and fresh mint that promises to turn ordinary moments into cherished memories. This drink isn’t just a thirst-quencher; it’s a testament to creativity and family bonding, embodying the heart and soul of Zoyaaz.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
• 4 cups cold water
• Juice of 2 lemons
• Ice cubes
• Extra mint leaves and blackberries for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the fresh blackberries, mint leaves, and sugar. Blend until smooth. As you blend, you’ll notice the vibrant purple hue and the sweet, earthy aroma of the blackberries mingling with the refreshing scent of mint.
2. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large jug, pressing with a spoon to extract all the juice. The strained juice will be a beautiful, rich color.
3. Add the cold water and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the jug. Stir well to combine, tasting and adjusting sweetness as needed. The tangy aroma of lemon will balance the sweetness and add a zesty twist.
4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the blackberry mint juice over the ice. Each glass will be an inviting, visually appealing combination of purple and green.
5. Garnish with extra mint leaves and a few whole blackberries to add a fresh, pretty touch.
