As we continue to boycott Coke due to its operations in Isr@eli settlements and donations to the Isr@eli military (alongside widespread human rights violations ), here is a far tastier and healthier fizzy pop to get you by and it’s full of probiotic goodness!

If you are an absolute newbie to foraging, blackberries are the best place to start as they are EVERYWHERE so get picking and give this a go 🥰

  • 200 g blackberries
  • 2 litres water
  • 250 g Sugar
  • 2 tbsp White wine vinegar1 cinnamon stick NutmegJuice and zest of 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 orange

Boil everything bar the vinegar until the sugar is dissolved. Once cooled, add the vinegar, cover with a tea towel and leave for about 5 days.Strain, bottle and leave a further 2 days to get fizzy 🫧

N.B. all utensils and bottles must be sterilized and completely clean to avoid the risk of contamination which leads to mould. There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to sterilize glass bottles and jars.

Let us know if you give this a go, I’m working my way through 4Ls and can’t believe have tasty it is!!
