Notes

Note - the calories count the 2 cups of blackberries, which are strained out.

Simple syrup - to make a simple syrup combine equal parts water and sugar in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat, just until the sugar dissolves. Cool to room temperature. Can store in the fridge for about a month.

Storing - you can either store this in the fridge or at room temperature. I store mine at room temperature, but I usually use them up within about 6 months.
