Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- ⅓ cup mild honey (or sub ½ cup+ granulated sugar) see note
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 5-6 cups water divided
- additional blueberries and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Bring one cup of water to a boil. Whisk in honey until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. If using sugar instead of honey, skip this step.
- Add blueberries, lemon juice, sugar (if using) and 1 cup water to a blender and blend until pureed. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard any solids.
- Stir together the blueberry puree, honey mixture (if using) and remaining 3-4 cups water. Chill and serve over ice.
Notes
This is a mildly sweet lemonade. If you want it extra sweet, increase the honey from ⅓ to ½ cup (note: the honey flavor will be quite strong) OR use ⅔ cup granulated sugar.
