Notes

I like to use fresh ingredients for the best taste. If I don’t have fresh blackberries, frozen ones work well too.

For a kid-friendly version, I might reduce the sugar or skip it altogether. Letting the fresh flavors shine is key.

Also, consider trying different herbs, like mint, for a twist. 🍃 Experimenting can lead to exciting new flavors!
