Blueberry Lemonade
This homemade blueberry lemonade is naturally sweetened - no cooking required. Fresh, fruity, and perfect for hot days, summer grills, or mason jar sipping.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water divided
- ½ cup maple syrup OR ¼ cup maple syrup + ¼ cup and 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1.5 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- In a blender, add 1 cup of the water, the maple syrup (or maple + coconut sugar blend), and the blueberries. Blend on medium-high for about 1 minute or until completely smooth.
- (Optional) Strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a smoother lemonade.
- In a large pitcher, pour in the blueberry syrup you just made, lemon juice, and remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well.
- Pour over ice, garnish as you like, and enjoy. I love adding a pinch of sea salt to each glass—it brings out all the flavor. See Notes for topping ideas.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries you may need to thaw them before blending if you don't have a high-speed blender.
- Topping ideas: Blueberries, lemon slices, pinch of sea salt, fresh mint leaves
