1. Add blackberries, cane sugar, and water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir often, in the beginning, to make sure the sugar melts properly.
2. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Take the syrup off the heat and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. 
4. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or a bowl.
5. Pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Wait until the syrup is completely cool before closing the jar.

3. Fill a double old-fashioned glass with ice and strain the drink over the ice.
