Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 4 cups water
- 4 pomegranate-flavored tea bags
- An ample amount of crushed ice
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Brew the Pomegranate Tea: While the blackberry sauce cools, bring the water to a boil in a separate pot. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 5-7 minutes, then discard the bags and let tea cool.
- Layer the Drink: In a tall tumbler, start by adding a generous amount of crushed ice. Pour the blackberry sauce over the ice first, letting it settle at the bottom. Next, gently pour the pomegranate tea over the back of a spoon to create an ombré effect.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Black Widow Lemonade right away for the best visual appeal and chilling effect.
