Ingredients

Blueberry Lemonade

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 gallon cold water
  • 1 lemon, sliced, for garnish
  • fresh mint, for garnish

Blueberry Syrup

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • juice from 1 lemon

Directions

Blueberry Lemonade

For the lemonade. In a one-gallon container, place sugar and hot water, and stir until
sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and water to render one gallon. Stir well until well
mixed.

Pour lemonade over a glass of ice, stir in blueberry syrup to taste. Garnish with slice of
lemon and sprig of mint

Blueberry Syrup

Put the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer until thick, 20 to 25 minutes.

Strain the blueberries through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing to get all the liquid out, then place the liquid in the fridge and chill until cold.
