Ingredients
- 3/4 cup lemon, fresh squeezed
- 5 cups water
- 3/4 cup Blueberry Simple Syrup
- fresh blueberries and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup and let cool completely. This can be made ahead (up to a few days) and stored in the refrigerator until ready.
- To a pitcher add water and fresh lemon juice.
- Add the blueberry simple syrup.
- Stir and taste. Adjust flavor as needed.
- Serve over ice with a garnish of lemon wedges and fresh blueberries.
Notes
You must add about 20 minutes of prep and cook time on to account for the Blueberry Simple Syrup you have to make ahead of time.
To add more blueberry flavor, add a handful of fresh berries to each glass and muddle before adding ice and blueberry lemonade.
Store the homemade lemonade in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 8 days.
Variations
- Spicy - I know not everyone loves spicy drinks but I really do! You can add a kick by muddling in some fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers as I do in my Serrano Margarita.
- Herbs - Berries and fresh herbs go really well together! You can infuse the lemonade with some fresh basil or rosemary or even use a basil simple syrup along with freshly muddled berries.
- Adult Friendly - You can make this drink into a cocktail by adding a little vodka or gin. YUM!
