Fresh Blueberry Strawberry Lemonade Recipes

HOMEMADE LEMONADE

Steps:

• Use a vegetable peeler to peel the lemon zest into strips. Set lemons aside.
• Lemon simple syrup: In a medium pan over medium-high heat, bring 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and lemon zest strips to a boil (*To make strawberry or blueberry lemonade, add berries here as well).
• Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sugar is dissolved and liquid is syrupy, about 5-8 minutes. (If berries were added, mash gently before straining to release the juices) Strain and refrigerate syrup until needed.
• Juice lemons and add 1 cup lemon juice to a large pitcher (reserve any extra so you can adjust the flavor to your tastes).
• Add 1 cup ice cubes, remaining 3 cups water, and lemon simple syrup. Stir to combine and garnish with fresh lemon slices if desired. Refrigerate until chilled.

FRESH BLUEBERRY STRAWBERRY LEMONADE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the sugar and lemon zest, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Set aside. We've made simple syrup!
• Pour the gallon of water into a pitcher and add the lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
• Mix in the simple syrup with the lemon zest, adjusting for taste. Stir well until the simple syrup has been thoroughly mixed. If you like a tarter drink, use less simple syrup.

• Fill a pitcher about 1/4 of the way with ice, and add berry puree until the pitcher is 1/3 to half full.

ALL NATURAL STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a blender; top with 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour 1 cup water over sugared strawberries. Blend until strawberry chunks transform into juice.
• Combine strawberry juice, 6 cups water, 1 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a large pitcher; stir until blended. Chill before serving.

BLUEBERRY LEMONADE

Steps:

• For the blueberry syrup: Put the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer until thick, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Strain the blueberries through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing to get all the liquid out, then place the liquid in the fridge and chill until cold (or place the pan in a bowl of ice to chill down fast).
• For the lemonade: Mix the sugar with 6 cups of tap water and stir until the sugar is dissolved to make a simple syrup.
• Pour the lemon juice into a large vat. Pour in three-quarters of the simple syrup and 8 cups of water (give or take). Add the blueberry syrup, stir it around and then give it a taste. Add more simple syrup if it needs sweetness, or more water if it needs dilution. Top up with lots of ice before serving.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries with 1 cup of the sugar and 1 cup of water.
• In a large container, mix together 11 cups water, the remaining 2 cups sugar, the lemon juice and the strawberry mixture. Stir and taste, adding more sugar if you like. Refrigerate until well chilled.

BLUEBERRY LEMONADE

Steps:
