KOPU Tasty Water Recipes with Tesia: Blackberry Mint Agua Fresca
This is the one for a crowd, and the one worth planning ahead for.
Tesia makes a mint simple syrup first. It is the step most people skip and the step that makes the entire drink.
Recipe ingredients:
For the mint simple syrup�¾ cup white sugar�¾ cup KOPU Spring Water�1 handful fresh mint
For the agua fresca�12 oz blackberries�1 cup lime juice, plus extra for garnish�1 lime, zested�1 pinch salt�4 cups KOPU Sparkling Water�1 handful fresh mint
Method:
�Bring the sugar and KOPU Spring to a gentle simmer until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat, add the mint, and let it steep until fully cool. Strain out the mint.
Blend the blackberries with lime juice, zest and salt. Strain for a silky texture or leave it rustic. Add the mint syrup gradually, tasting as you go. Top with KOPU Sparkling and fresh mint right before serving.
Do not skip the salt. It does not make it salty.
It makes the fruit taste like more of itself.
