Fresh Blueberry Lemonade
A simple three-ingredient lemonade made with fresh lemons and blueberries.
Equipment
- Sauce Pan
- Pitcher
- Strainer
- Immersion Blender
Ingredients
- 1 Cup White Sugar
- 4 Cups Water
- 1 Lb Fresh Blueberries
- 1 Cup Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Juice your lemons. You'll need 4-5 large lemons or 6-8 smaller lemons, probably; your mileage may vary.
- Make a simple syrup by combining your cup of sugar and one cup of water in the sauce pan. Bring it to a simmer for 3-4 minutes to dissolve the sugar, then let it cool.
- Add your blueberries to a blender or container and blend them until they're pureed.
- Strain your blueberry mash to remove as much skin, seed, and pulp as possible while retaining as much liquid as you can. This will likely be slow and tedious; if you know a good way to do it, let me know in the comments!
- Mix the simple syrup, lemon juice, and blueberry juice together, then add the remaining water and stir to combine. Add more water if you want a bit more, but thinner, lemonade.
- Chill and serve or serve over ice right away.
