HOW DO YOU MAKE FRESH BLUEBERRY LEMONADE?
First, simmer the blueberries and lemon juice over medium heat until the blueberries pop. Now strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer pushing the juice of the fruit through with the back of a spoon. Then pour the blueberry mixture into a large pitcher with several cups of water and the sugar. Add more or less sugar for your preferred sweetness. Finally, stir thoroughly to blend the sugar, chill in the fridge, and serve poured over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, or fresh blueberries.
