Ingredients
Blueberry Lavender Lemonade
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup lavender syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- Water (to dilute, amount as needed)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Lemon slices and blueberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend Blueberries and Lemon Juice: In a blender, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the flavors meld together.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blueberry-lemon blend through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the skins and pulp, creating a smooth liquid base for the lemonade.
- Add Lavender Syrup: Stir in 1/4 cup of lavender syrup into the strained blueberry lemonade, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the fragrant floral sweetness throughout the drink.
- Dilute and Chill: Add water to the mixture according to your taste preference to balance the tartness and sweetness. Place the lemonade in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle and the drink to cool.
- Serve and Garnish: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled blueberry lavender lemonade over the ice, and garnish with fresh lemon slices and a few blueberries for an attractive and tasty presentation. Enjoy immediately as a refreshing summer beverage.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of water to taste, depending on preferred sweetness and tartness levels.
- For homemade lavender syrup, simmer equal parts sugar and water with fresh or dried lavender buds until sugar dissolves, then strain.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chilling the lemonade for longer enhances flavor melding.
- Can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
