Directions:
- Lay a double piece of cheesecloth on a nonporous work surface (as the berries will stain a wide array of cutting surfaces and clothes, this may be best done outside or over newspaper and wearing an apron or smock).
- Place the blackberries on top of the cheesecloth and gather into a bundle like a hobo sack.
- Hold the sack of berries over a glass, stainless steel, plastic, or ceramic bowl; twist the top of the sack to squeeze the juice from the berries into the receptacle (this will yield about 1 cup very strong, tart, dark juice).
- Refrigerate the juice until needed; discard the purple mash.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, 1 cup water, the lime leaf, and the cardamom pod; bring to a boil.
- Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is reduced to a thin syrup.
- Remove the lime leaf and cardamom.
- Allow the sugar syrup to cool and then chill it.
- In a 1 quart pitcher, combine the blackberry juice, sugar syrup, and lime juice; stir to combine and then refrigerate until cold.
- To serve, stir the ginger ale into the pitcher; fill glasses with ice, and pour in the blackberry limeade.
- Garnish with slices of lime and blackberries.
