Blackberry Mint syrup.

I decided that because my Blackberry Mint syrup is just so amazing, I will post a recipe, even though there are about a million other things I should be doing right now.  I am a terrible prioritizer.

Blackberry Mint Syrup
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
6 oz blackberries
10 -12 leaves of mint

Place all ingredients in a pot.  Bring to a boil.  Let it boil for a while (5 to 10 mintues - I'm not sure, I was obsessing over Pinterest at the time).  Let is cool & add to your tea or other beverage.

Wow, that's easy.  I think I only used about 6 leaves of mint, but it needed a little more.  Don't get too crazy though, because mint can make your tea awfully earthy tasting.

See how pretty my syrup looks in its lovely bottle ($2.97 @ Wal-Mart)?

Yeah, I've got a pretty nice camera.

EDIT:  I forgot the very important step of straining the syrup after boiling it.  Whoopsie doodle.
