Ingredients

▢ 4 cups (total) strawberries, blackberries and blueberries, I chop the strawberries before measuring
▢ 4 cups Purified Water
▢ 1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
▢ 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste

Instructions

Place berries, 3 cups of water, honey and lemon juice in a blender, and process until smooth. Taste and add more honey and lemon, if desired. Stir in remaining 1 cup of water. Set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the mixture through. Use a rubber spatula to lightly press on the solids. Discard the seeds. Refrigerate or serve immediately. I like to serve over ice, garnished with fresh berries, mint and/or lemon slices.
