Fresh Blackberry Lemonade

This is an unusual twist on lemonade, made extra-special if
you pick the blackberries yourself! You can of course substitute strawberries or
rasperries if you wish.
Ingredients:
4 cups water, divided
1 cup sugar
1 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 cup blackberries
Instructions:
Boil 2 cups of water and the sugar in a large saucepan, until the sugar has
completely dissolved - this will only take a couple of minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the remaining water,
lemon juice, and lemon peel. Leave to cool.
Put 1 cup of the lemon liquid into a blender with the
blackberries, and whizz up together thoroughly. Strain to remove the blackberry
seeds and then pour into a pitcher.
Add the rest of the lemon mixture and stir well. Refrigerate
and serve over ice. Delicious!
