Let’s dive in and see how easy it is to make this super easy lemonade. You’ll love this blueberry lemonade recipe once you give it a try and I promise, it’s very simple to make.

Heat 1 cup of sugar and one cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved.

Add blueberries and bring to a boil.

Simmer for 4 minutes, then strain blueberry juice through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.

Discard blueberries, and let the juice cool.

Cut lemons in half and juice them. Set juice aside.

In a large pitcher, add blueberry juice, lemon juice, ½ cup sugar and 5 cups of water. Stir very well.

(Optional) Add fresh blueberries and lemon slices to pitcher.

Let chill, and serve over ice.

This recipe is made to my desired sweetness, but you may reduce the sugar by ½ cup for a more tart lemonade, or add an extra ½ cup for a sweeter lemonade. I’d always suggest that you make it less sweet to start and then add more if you need to, it’s easier to make it more sweet than less sweet as you go!

If you make it too sweet you can always add more lemon juice and water to cut the sweetness a bit, keep that in mind if you find it’s too sweet!

It’s never a bad idea to have some of these kitchen essentials on hand. They’ll come in handy for making more than just this blueberry lemonade recipe, I promise!

You’ll want a good whisk that you like, a pitcher is also great for serving up these delicious beverages! I like to have serving glasses and straws on hands as well.

You might also like to have a muddler on hand for making drink recipes. I also like to keep a frother on hand when I’m making a lot of tasty beverages.
