Ingredients

Lemonade-

Blueberry syrup-

  • 2 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2-3 mint leaves optional

Instructions

Blueberry Syrup-

  • Add the frozen blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and mint leaves into a small saucepan.
  • Cook on medium high heat until the blueberries juices have released, and the mixture is simmering. Turn down to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  • Once the blueberry sauce is cooled, strain the blueberries from the sauce into a bowl. Mash the blueberries to be able to get as much sauce from them.
  • Store the blueberry syrup in a jar in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Blueberry Lemonade-

  • Add 1 cup of water and sugar to a pot and heat on medium high heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool.
  • Meanwhile, cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Repeat with all the lemons.
  • Add the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and water to a pitcher and mix to combine. Adjust the level of tart you want by adding more lemon juice.
  • Pour in the desired amount of blueberry sauce to the pitcher and mix to combine.
  • Add some fresh mint, blueberries, ice and lemon slices to the pitcher and serve.
