    This refreshing drink is not only delicious but has a beautiful color, you can serve it any time of the day, and it keeps well in the refrigerator. 

    It is a healthy drink that you must try since blueberry helps the liver to flush the toxins from the digestive system, and some studies showed that blueberry prevents fatty liver. You are not enjoying the amazing taste; your body also benefits from it.

    🥘 INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED

    In a few minutes, you need four simple and inexpensive ingredients to make a refreshing blueberry lemonade. Let's look at what are the main ingredients you'll need.

    You can scroll down to the recipe card for further details and instructions.

    Blueberries: You can use both fresh blueberries and frozen ones.

    Sugar: I have used white sugar, but you can for raw or any sweetener you prefer. You can also mix sugar with honey.

    Lemon juice: Freshly made unsweetened lemon juice adds more nutrients and flavor to this drink

    Water: Some use soda water, but I prefer to stick with regular water. It's up to you.

    🔪 HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY LEMONADE

    Step 1

    Add the blueberries, sugar, and water to a pan to make the blueberry syrup. Let the mixture come to a boil. Mash the blueberries well to use all their juices, then add the lemon juice. Let it come to a boil, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.

    💭 COOKING TIPS

    • No need to thaw the frozen blueberries when making the syrup.
    • You can use lime instead of lemon if that's what you have.
    • Crush or chop mint leaves in the glasses before serving for a more refreshing flavor. 
    • This blueberry lemonade should be diluted; hence it's best to serve it in a glass full of ice, or you can use less sugar.

      I never tried blueberry lemonade before (just strawberry lemonade so far). This is wonderful! I love blueberries but besides smoothies, I never used it for drinks. How fun! Got to try this!

      We have way too many blueberries right now and it's way too hot around here, so this lemonade seems like the perfect solution to both problems! Love it 🙂
