How to Make Blackberry Syrup

How to Make Lime Syrup
Lime syrup is a must-have ingredient in your fridge for cocktails and mocktails. It adds a slight almost spicy sourness to cocktails and is also great as a dash of sweetness in a G&T.

Your homemade syrup will never be clear unless you are super patient enough to strain it through a coffee filter and even then it may be a little cloudy. But neither will it be suspiciously bright green like some of the commercial ones.
