I can stare at it all day long, but instead I will drink a few tall glasses. Blueberry Lemonade is made with homemade blueberry simple syrup, lots of fresh lemons and a few mint leaves. This easy drink is always a hit, either if you serve it on a hot summer day by the pool, or in the middle of the winter in the comfort of your home. I like to add club soda to my lemonade, just because it makes it taste like a fun mocktail, I guess you can even call this lemonade a mocktail.

How Many Lemons Do You Need To Make Lemonade?

You will need 5-6 lemons, if you find Mayer lemon is season, get those, they are especially fragrant and also sweeter.

How Do You Make Simple Syrup For Lemonade?

You add sugar and water to a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. If you like mint, I recommend adding 8-10 leaves to the mixture and boil, discard after the mixture has cooled.

How Do You Make Lemonade Without Sugar?

You can skip making the simple syrup and add the juice of 6 lemons to a large pitcher, add water, and add stevia or honey. Stir, taste and make it as sweet as you want. Add a few lemon slices to the pitcher, serve over ice.

You can also add a bit of alcohol to this Blueberry Lemonade to make a Boozy Lemonade, vodka works fine!
