Blueberry Lemonade Recipe

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

How to Make Blueberry Lemonade

1. Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Mix in the blueberries and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer until the blueberries start to break down - about 3 minutes.
5. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and let cool.
6. Add the cooled, strained blueberry mixture to a large pitcher.
7. To the pitcher, add 5 cups of water.
8. Refrigerate until chilled.
9. Serve over ice with a lemon slice and blueberries if desired.
