Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
2 ¼ cups fresh lemon juice
7 cups cool water
2 cups ice
¾ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a blender, puree the blueberries with a splash of water until smooth. Strain through a sieve if desired for a smoother texture.
- In a large pitcher, combine simple syrup, lemon juice, blueberry puree, and 7 cups of cool water. Stir well.
- Add ice to the pitcher or serving glasses.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the vibrant pink lemonade.
Notes
Use raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries instead of blueberries for variation.
Adjust sugar for sweetness preference.
Swap some water with sparkling water for a fizzy version.
Infuse with mint or basil for extra freshness.
Freeze into popsicles for a fun summer treat.
