1lbfresh Concord grapes, or another black grape that you like, taste first!
1/2cupwater
juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
Wash the grapes and put them in a heavy bottomed pot, along with the water and lemon juice. Bring the pot to a simmer and continue simmering for about 20 minutes until the grapes have begun to soften. Smash the grapes with the back of a large spoon as they cook.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until completely blended. Let the machine run long enough to get all the grapes completely pureed.
Pass the puree through a mesh strainer, pushing lightly, to get the juice through. Discard any pulp, skin or seeds.
Refrigerate the grape syrup until cold.
To serve, fill a glass with ice and mix half syrup and half sparking water. Garnish with a sprig of basil or mint.
