Ingredients for Blueberry Lemonade

• Fresh blueberries

• Cold water

How to Make Blueberry Lemonade

This is so simply that you’ll be enjoying a big glass of Blueberry Lemonade in no time!

Make Blueberry Puree

• First you just dump the blueberries, sugar and 1 cup of water in a blender. Blend this on medium-high speed for about 1 minute or until the blueberries are pureed.
• Next you want to strain the blueberry puree through a fine mesh sieve if you don’t want the small pieces of blueberry in your lemonade. If you don’t mind them skip this step!

Combine Ingredients

• Pour the blueberry puree in a pitcher and add the lemon juice, stir. Then add the remaining 3 cups of water and you are done!
• Stir, chill and serve this blueberry lemonade over ice on a hot summer day!

Variations

• Strawberries can be swapped for blueberries to make Strawberry Lemonade
• Blackberries swapped for the blueberries would be delicious!
• Taste as you go, you can always add more sugar, lemon juice, or water to make this lemonade exactly how you want it.
• Swap the sugar for honey.
• Add a bit of vodka to the mixture to for a spiked lemonade.

VARIATIONS

• Strawberries can be swapped for blueberries to make Strawberry Lemonade
• Blackberries swapped for the blueberries would be delicious!
• Taste as you go, you can always add more sugar, lemon juice, or water to make this lemonade exactly how you want it.
• Swap the sugar for honey.
• Add a bit of vodka to the mixture to for a spiked lemonade.

EXPERT TIPS!

• You will want to make sure you have a blender to make this lemonade. My favorite blender is this one, but if you are on more of a budget this one is great too!
• I like to serve this in mason jars filled with ice and garnished with lemon slices and blueberries. You could even use frozen blueberries to keep it extra cold.
• Straining the blueberry puree is optional. You can see fleck of blueberries in these photos because I didn’t strain it. It will give you more nutrients and antioxidants if you leave them in, but for a less cloudy final result you can strain it.
• Did you know if you microwave lemons they are easier to squeeze? Just warm them up for a few seconds or make sure they are room temperature.
