Blueberry Lemonade
Description
Blueberry Lemonade is prepared by mashing fresh blueberries with lemon slices, sugar, and mint leaves to extract their natural flavors. The muddled fruit mixture is combined with lemon juice and ice, then shaken until the sugar dissolves. Adding water or sparkling water completes the drink. The result is a slightly sweet, tangy, and herbaceous lemonade featuring the freshness of blueberries and mint. Chilling the lemonade enhances its refreshing qualities, making it suitable for serving at gatherings or as a simple homemade refreshment. The recipe includes storing instructions for up to two days in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberries or more, fresh
- 1 lemon thinly sliced, whole
- 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar less or more to preference or sugar subs/alternatives
- 5 leaves mint
- 2 cups ice

Instructions
- To a mason jar or bowl, add the blueberries, 2-3 slices of lemon, sugar and 2 leaves of mint and mash it or muddle until most of the berries are mashed
- If you used a bowl to muddle, transfer the muddled berries to a mason jar or a small jar. Add the ice, lemon juice and remaining mint to the jar. Close the lid, Mix and shake until sugar dissolves. Transfer this blueberry mixture to the serving jug. Add water or seltzer water and lemon slices.
- Let the berry mix set a little bit, then taste and adjust flavor by adding more sugar if needed. I also usually like to add a pinch of salt to bring out the sweetness. Chill and serve.
