Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Chill blueberry simple syrup for a couple of hours or overnight before serving.
- Although puree of raw blueberries can be used to make lemonade, I highly recommend cooking blueberries briefly, it extracts the flavor and color from it.
- For added flavors, muddle fresh mint or fresh basil leaves and add them to the drink.
- For adult-style lemonade, spike it up with some vodka or tequila.
