Let me show you how to make a delicious Blueberry Lemonade Recipe. You’ll never have plain lemonade again.
Lemonade is an iconic summer beverage. From lemonade stands in the driveway to your favorite frosted version at the drive-through, it wouldn’t be summer without this classic.
Whether it’s tart and traditional or a sweet pink lemonade, my kids love it. If I’m honest, so do I. It’s nostalgia in a glass and it’s so fun to experiment with new flavor combinations.
What I don’t like? The powdered “mix” style lemonade. It’s just not the same as homemade, so I generally try to make it myself with fresh ingredients.
If you like making your own homemade lemonade too, you’re going to love this recipe! Because blueberries are sweet and a little tangy, they are really wonderful with tart lemon juice.
Ingredients
- fine granulated sugar
- blueberries
- fresh lemon juice
- water
