Ingredients Needed:
Water: you’ll need water for both the simple syrup and the actual lemonade. Use cold water to enjoy the lemonade more quickly! Blueberries: fresh or frozen will work. Use whatever you have! Sugar: I use granulated sugar to sweeten the blueberry simple syrup. Lemons: you can use anywhere from 3-5 lemons depending on how tangy you like it. Ice Cubes: for serving!
How to Make Blueberry Lemonade
Tips and Notes
Use fresh lemon. The flavor of fresh lemon juice is just unmatched in lemonade. Make it more or less lemony. I use three very large lemons to make a flavorful but more mild lemonade. If you prefer a little extra zip, use four or 5 smaller lemons, including all of the zest and juice. Another option is to add extra fresh lemon slices to serve for some extra tang. Strain it. Don’t forget to strain the simple syrup before you add it to the lemonade. No chunky lemonade here! Wait to add the ice. If you’re not serving your lemonade right away, wait to add the ice. We don’t want it to melt and dilute all that delicious flavor.
Variations
Use another berry. You can easily swap the blueberries out for another berry if preferred. Try strawberries (like this Strawberry Lemonade), raspberries, or blackberries! Swap the sweetener. Swap the granulated sugar out for honey or maple syrup in the simple syrup. Make it boozy. Add a shot of vodka for a homemade spiked lemonade. Make it sparkly. Use carbonated water to make this into a sparkling Blueberry Lemonade. Blend it up. You can easily make this into a refreshing blended drink if preferred. Simply throw everything into a blender and process until smooth!
