  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Blackberry syrup is an easy way to add a splash of ripe summer flavor to drinks. We love a dash of this stuff in our <a href="/recipes/10442">iced tea</a> or <a href="/recipes/10472">lemonade</a>, or mixed with London dry gin or vodka and seltzer for a grown-up soda pop. You can use this method to make raspberry, cherry, or just about any other berry syrup.</p>]]>
