It is summer and it is hot outside! All I can think about is fresh squeezed lemonade to cool me off. One of the best parts of summer is going to the farmer’s market to get some fresh fruit. There’s just something about walking through the aisles and looking for the perfect berries. I found some beautiful blueberries next to the lemons so I decided to make blueberry lemonade.
My daughter told me about some blueberry tea her friend made last week. After seeing the blueberries and lemons side by side at the marker I had to try my hand at blueberry lemonade. If blueberry tea is good then blueberry lemonade has to be good. Why stop there? There are so many fruit combinations that would be delicious. We have blackberries that grow along our driveway and I am watching them like a hawk waiting for them to ripen so I can make blackberry lemonade next.
Supplies for Blueberry Lemonade:
(may contain affiliate links)
12 Lemons
1 Pint Blueberries
1 cup sugar (1 1/2 cups if you like it a little sweeter)
Water
Ice
Cute Paper Straws
Blueberry Lemonade
Print Pin Rate
Ingredients
Lemons
- 12 lemons
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar reduce 1/2 cup if you like it tart
Blueberries:
- 1 pint of blueberries
- 3 TBLS of sugar for blueberries
- Ice
Instructions
Squeeze the lemons and remove the seeds.
Set them aside.
Place the water and 1 1/2 cups of sugar in a saucepan on medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat.
Place blueberries, 1/4 cup of water, and 3 TBLS of sugar in a saucepan on medium-low heat and cook until the berries start to break down.
Remove from heat. Let both of these mixtures cool to room temperature.
Next, add them to the freshly squeezed lemons.
Fill the pitcher with ice and enjoy!
I love how the blueberries give the lemonade a purple tint that kind of glows in the sunlight. Just be careful when sipping from a straw because those blueberries get stuck. LOL, I was very tempted to shoot one across the porch at Alan but, I knew I would be the one scrubbing the stains out. It was hard but, I was a good girl and kept my blueberries to myself.
I know we live miles and miles apart, but I like to think of us as friends that sit on the front porch swing with our glasses of blueberry lemonade. We can talk about our day or swing and look at the beautiful things in nature. You all are so sweet, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for following me through this baking journey. You’ll never know how much you mean to me!

Mmmm – blueberry lemonade sounds amazing! (Blackberry does too!) I have to drink TONS of fluids with the baby and all and sometimes I just get tired of plain water. Lemonade has been my lifesaver! 🙂

I remember looking for things other than water when I was expecting. One day something is amazing and the next day you can’t stand the smell! lol

That looks so delicious and refreshing! I’ve made something similar with raspberries which my daughter loves because it turns the lemonade pink. We’ll have to give this a try this hot, humid summer!

Oh does this look refreshing or what???? Plus I love the idea of going to the market instead of the grocery store. Sounds like an adventure! 🙂

I want to drink the two glasses in the photograph so very super duper badly. The third glass, I will save to celebrate my victory over the first two. I’ll drink 1/2 of that glass, pause, and then say to myself under my breath, “You did it, Kip” and then drink the final 1/6 of liquid delicious and then nap under the shade of some old tree upon a hammock that swings with the cool breeze. While napping, I’ll dream of another three glasses.
