Instructions
- Place the water, sugar, and blueberries in a medium saucepan set over medium to medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the blueberries have burst. Mash the blueberries a bit, to release more flavor and color.
- Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the basil. Cover with a lid and steep for 20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, pressing on the solids a bit to release more flavor and color. Discard solids.
- Add blueberry syrup, lemon juice, and sparkling water to a pitcher. Stir to combine.
- Enjoy this lemonade over ice, garnished with lemon, blueberries, and/or basil leaves.
Notes
- Store this lemonade covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. If not serving right away, wait to add the sparkling water until right before serving.
