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
- Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Mix in the blueberries and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the blueberries start to break down - about 3 minutes.
- Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and let cool.
- Add the cooled, strained blueberry mixture to a large pitcher.
- To the pitcher, add 5 cups of water.
- Refrigerate until chilled.
- Serve over ice with a lemon slice and blueberries if desired.
Make This Recipe Your Own
- Ginger is delicious with lemon and blueberries. Add 2-3 ounces of fresh sliced ginger with the blueberries when making the syrup.
- Replace ½ cup of the blueberries with strawberries for a berry lemonade.
- For an adult beverage, add a splash or two of vodka over ice and pour the blueberry lemonade on top.
