Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves more to garnish
- pinch cardamom powder optional
- 2 tablespoon still water
- sparkling water
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Add the berries, mint, honey and still water to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to help burst any berries that are not breaking down.
- Transfer the mixture to a sieve placed over a bowl. Strain the mixture through, using a spoon to help it press through. Discard the mixture left in the sieve.
- Spoon around ½ inch of the syrup into your glasses and add ice. Top with sparkling water and garnish with berries and mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
