Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries preferably organic, frozen can be used if thawed
  • 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed, about 4-6 lemons
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste, can substitute with honey or agave
  • 4 cups water divided, use sparkling water for fizzy variation

Instructions
 

Make Blueberry Puree

  • Combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 0.25 cup sugar, and 0.5 cup water in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Optionally, strain through a fine mesh sieve for smoother texture.

Mix Lemonade

  • In a pitcher, combine blueberry puree, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, remaining 0.25 cup sugar, and 3.5 cups water. Stir well. Adjust water or sugar to taste.

Chill and Serve

  • Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice, garnished with fresh blueberries or lemon slices.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days for best freshness.
  • Freeze extra blueberry puree in ice cube trays for later use.
  • Add fresh mint or sparkling water for a flavor twist.
