Ingredients
- 1-¾ cups fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups ( 16 oz) fresh blueberry puree plus more for serving
- ¾ to 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 cups filtered water
Instructions
- In a blender, puree the fresh blueberries until smooth. If desired, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids or seeds. In a large pitcher, combine the blueberry puree, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Add the filtered water to the pitcher and stir again. Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lemonade to become cold and refreshing. When ready to serve, pour the blueberry lemonade over ice in glasses. Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon slices, if desired.
