How to Make Blue Lemonade

  1. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Continue heating for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens and forms a simple syrup.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add 6 cups of cold water, the zest of 2 lemons, and the juice of 4 lemons. Stir well to combine.
  4. In a blender, combine 2 cups of fresh blueberries until smooth.
  5. Gently stir the blueberry puree into the lemon mixture. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal chill and flavor. Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon wedges.
