    My favorite thing to drink during summer is an ice cold glass of lemonade. I am a huge fan of all things citrus and the sweet/tart combination just refreshes me like nothing else. This blueberry lemonade is sure to be a favorite!

    Ingredients

    • Blueberries - You can use fresh or frozen. They both work. If you want to get all fancy, you can also add in a few other types of fruit in with your blueberries. Cherries or blackberries would be amazing!
    • Sugar - Use granulated sugar. I've heard of people using brown sugar to give the lemonade a slight pie-like flavor. You can also use honey or maple syrup, but know that it will change the overall flavor of the lemonade.
    • Lemons - Only use fresh lemons in your lemonade. Bottled lemons will never give you the exact refreshing flavor you want in your lemonade.
    • Water - The water is used to dilute the lemons so your lemonade isn't too tart. It also helps make the syrup.
    • Vanilla extract (optional) - This is totally optional, but I love the flavor that vanilla adds to the lemonade. It adds more dimension.

    How to make

    Customize

    There are ways to customize your lemonade to make it even better!

    • Add mint to your blueberries when making the syrup.
    • Use sparkling water instead of still.
    • Add in other berries into your blueberry mix.
    • Experiment with using pink lemons, meyer lemons, or even add in a little lime juice!
