Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups water

blueberry puree
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- First make the blueberry puree ~ rinse the berries and put them in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until softened and deep purple. Puree the mixture in a blender until completely smooth. Put in the refrigerate to chill.
- To make the lemonade, put the water and lemon juice into a pitcher, add the sugar, and stir to dissolve. Add most of the blueberry puree (you may not want to use all the puree, taste and adjust the amount to your liking.) Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a single serving of blueberry lemonade, mix 1 cup water with the juice of 1 lemon. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, and stir until it dissolves. Mix in about 3 tablespoons of the blueberry puree. Chill and serve over ice.
- Try this with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
- If you need to, you can use frozen berries.
