  • To make your own blueberry lemonade: combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/4 cup squeezed lemon juice. Combine sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in blueberries and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until blueberries have broken down, about 3 minutes. Strain blueberry mixture through a cheesecloth or fine sieve; let cool. In a small pitcher, whisk together blueberry simple syrup, lemon juice and 2 cups water. Place in the refrigerator until chilled.
