Fresh, sweet pureed blueberries swimming with tart lemon makes for a very special (and pretty!) summer drink.

- 3/4 cup sugar can substitute honey - start with 1/2 cup and then add more if desired
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup hot water
- 3 cups cold water

Instructions
- In a blender, blend together the lemon juice, sugar, blueberries, and hot water until the berries are pureed and the sugar is dissolved. Pour into pitcher. Pour over a fine-mesh strainer if you prefer a pulp-free lemonade.
- Add cold water.
- Chill for at least an hour.

Notes
6/10/2024 recipe update: I clarified that 3/4 cup lemon juice comes from 5-6 large lemons. Also switched "fresh blueberries" to "fresh or frozen blueberries" because both work great!
