• 2 cups fresh or frozen berries (e.g., cranberries, blueberries)
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• optional to taste mint leaves

Method

1. 1

   In a large pot, combine the berries and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the berries are soft and break down.

3. 3

   Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing the berries to extract as much juice as possible.

4. 4

   In the pot, combine the strained juice with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for another 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, refrigerate until chilled.

7. 7

   Serve chilled, optionally garnished with mint leaves.
