This sparkling blueberry lemonade recipe provides a fresh, easy, nonalcoholic spring or summer drink to serve as the weather warms up!
Start by making blueberry syrup. Add the frozen blueberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan, and gradually increase the heat to a boil, stirring often to dissolve the sugar and to keep it from burning on the bottom of the pan. Once it reaches a boil, bring it down for a simmer, and cook 5 minutes. Pour the syrup through a mesh strainer into a bowl, using your spoon to crush the berries press as much blueberry juice into the bowl as possible.
Add fresh lemon juice to the blueberry syrup and place in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
This will make about 6 servings. If you need to serve all of it at once, start by mixing about 36 ounces of sparkling water into the blueberry-lemon concentrate. Taste the lemonade, and add more sparkling water if desired. OR if you would only like to serve 1 or 2 people lemonade and save the rest for later, mix about 1/2 cup of concentrate with about 6 oz. (half a 12 oz. can!) sparkling water, and serve.
