Wash the berries several times in cold water, discarding the water each time. I prefer to use organic berries, though the choice is yours.
Bring the water to a boil, or just below boiling point.
Add the berries, ginger and mint, then allow to steep for 25 to 30 minutes.
Add as much or little maple syrup as you like, you may just prefer a little less than what I like, it is upto you.
Notes
I prefer to leave all the ingredients in the pot, as the colours are vibrant, and I just like it that way. If you prefer you can strain the liquid off prior to serving, again the choice is yours, and you need to be happy with it.
