Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries 2 tablespoons agave syrup 6 green cardamom pods, crushed 1 bottle of vegan champagne, chilled

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, agave syrup, and crushed cardamom pods. Gently simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes or until the berries have released their juices and softened.
  2. Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
  3. Just before serving, slowly pour the vegan champagne into the cooled blackberry syrup while continuously stirring to create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to this elixir lies in the balance of flavors - the tartness of the blackberries, the warmth of the cardamom, and the effervescence of the champagne. Each sip is an invitation to lose yourself in a world where dreams and reality collide.
