My mother used to call this the ‘elixir of the gods’ because it was the only refreshment that cooled her and restored her vitality during hot summer days. A bottle of mulberry syrup, diluted with water, will make five litres (quarts) of refreshment.
Ingredients
Method
Wash the mulberries and leave them to drain in a colander for a few minutes. Transfer to a glass bowl and add 200g (1 cup) of the sugar. Mix well, then let them sit for 3-4 hours or until they are well soaked.
Squeeze them through a cheesecloth bag into a large measuring jug. Depending on the ripeness of the mulberries you might obtain 500-750ml (2-3 cups) of juice.
