BLUEBERRY LEMONADE

easy homemade

2 cups blueberries 1 c sugar OR ⅔ c honey 6 cups water, divided 1.5 c lemon juice

ingredients

⭐️ Gently roll lemons under your palm a few times – this will loosen the membranes and making juicing easier. ⭐️ No simple syrup required! Just puree the sugar with the blueberries – it will quickly dissolve.
