How to Make Berry Lemonade

  1. In a blender, combine 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), 1 cup lemonade concentrate, and ½ cup vanilla simple syrup (recipe below).
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the berry mixture into a large pitcher.
  4. Add 4 cups of water and stir gently.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Pour the chilled lemonade into ice-filled glasses and serve.
  7. **To make Vanilla Simple Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup water, seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean, and 1 whole vanilla bean pod.
  8. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  9. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and let cool completely (about 20 minutes).
  11. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the vanilla bean pod and any solids. Discard the solids.
