Blueberry Basil Lemonade
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 18 large fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups cold sparkling water or additional water if you don’t want it sparkling
Instructions:
- Place the water, sugar, and blueberries in a medium saucepan set over medium to medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the blueberries have burst. Mash the blueberries a bit, to release more flavor and color.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the basil. Cover with a lid and steep for 20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, pressing on the solids a bit to release more flavor and color. Discard solids.
- Add blueberry syrup, lemon juice, and sparkling water to a pitcher. Stir to combine.
- Enjoy this lemonade over ice, garnished with lemon, blueberries, and/or basil leaves.
