Mulberry Lime Cooler
Mulberry Lime Cooler for times like these when the season changes, when spring meets summer. With a very short and 'finger staining good' mulberry season in progress, life is good. How better to use these foraged beauties than in a refreshing summer cooler sweetened with 100% pure maple syrup from Canada!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup fresh mulberries {or similar seasonal berries}
- 4-6 limes, juice of
- 1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup from canada
- 1/4 tsp pink rock salt
- 3-4 cups of water as required
- Few sprigs fresh mint
Instructions
- Reserve 1/4 cup fresh mulberries for later.
- Place 1 cup mulberries in a large glass bowl or glass with the pink rock salt and 2 tbsps of maple syrup. Muddle well, mashing the berries on the sides of the bowl to release as much juice as possible.
- Strain into a pitcher by pushing through as much juice as you can collect. Add some water and strain again. {You can use the pulp in a smoothie later, or like me, just eat as it. It's quite delicious.}
- Add water, lime juice and a generous glug of maple syrup to sweeten. Taste and adjust sweetness adjusting the lime juice and or maple syrup as required. Add a few whole mulberries and mint leaves. Chill well before serving, else pour over ice.
