Blueberry Lemonade
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 cups water
- finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed, stems removed
- juice of 6 large lemons
- ice
- slices of fresh lemon, for garnish
Mix sugar, water, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Warm over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once sugar has completely dissolved, remove pan from heat, and pour mixture into a large glass pitcher. Combine blueberries with the lemon juice in a blender, and puree. Add to the pitcher, and stir well to blend. Pour lemonade through a sieve to remove the blueberry skins. Chill from 2 hours up to 24 hours. Pour lemonade over tall, ice-filled glasses, and garnish each with a lemon slice.
Makes 4-6 servings.
