Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 5 cups Water
- 1 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 6 slices Lemon slices
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and release their juices (about 8–10 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Add the fresh lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Stir until fully dissolved.
Add the lemon slices and fresh mint leaves to the pitcher for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or serve immediately over ice cubes in glasses.
Garnish each glass with additional mint sprigs or a lemon slice if desired. Enjoy your blueberry lemonade!
