Blueberry Lemonade

We are having a sudden heat wave here in western Oregon, so after hauling a 1/2 yard of soil for my new raised garden (post to follow when it’s done), a tall glass of lemonade sounded very refreshing. I found a recipe on Simply Recipes that I tried for our Father’s Day BBQ that was really simple and tasty, so thought I’d make it again. Last time I added strawberries. This time I had a few blueberries from our first berry crop, so decided to give it a new twist.

Step 1: make simple syrup with 1 cup water and 3/4 cup sugar and a handful of berries.

Step 2: after simple syrup cools, add 1 cup lemon juice and 4 cups water. Enjoy!

Tay and I think it’s good, but the strawberries provide more flavor.
