Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 2.5 cup fresh blueberries
▢ 0.75 cup granulated sugar
▢ 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
▢ 1.5 cup water for the blueberry syrup
▢ 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
▢ 3 cup cold water to dilute
▢ 0.125 tsp fine sea salt just a pinch to brighten flavor
▢ 4 cup ice cubes
▢ 16 fl oz sparkling water optional, for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Simmer blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar dissolves. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, gently mashing berries as they burst.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing to extract juices. Discard solids and cool 5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, 3 cups cold water, and a small pinch of salt. Taste and adjust tartness with more water or lemon.
Fill glasses with ice. Pour in blueberry lemonade and, if using, top with a splash of sparkling water.
Give a quick stir and serve immediately, chilled and fizzy.

Notes

For a herbal twist, muddle a few basil leaves in the pitcher before serving, or replace some sugar with honey for a softer sweetness. Make-ahead tip: Prepare the blueberry syrup up to 1 week in advance and refrigerate in a sealed jar.
