Summer Sipper: Blueberry Mint Lemonade Recipe

Blueberry Mint Lemonade

Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing homemade beverage perfect for a hot summer day. This blueberry mint lemonade is a delightful twist on a classic lemonade, combining the sweet and tangy flavors of blueberries and lemon with a hint of refreshing mint. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy while lounging by the pool or relaxing on the patio with friends and family.

Ingredients:

• 200g fresh blueberries
• 4 lemons
• 15g fresh mint leaves
• 100g sugar
• 1 liter water

Kitchen Tools:

• citrus juicer
• blender
• fine mesh strainer
• pitcher

To start, combine the fresh blueberries, juice of 4 lemons, sugar, and 500ml of water in a blender. Blend until smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any pulp.

Next, muddle the fresh mint leaves in a mortar and pestle to release their aromatic oils. Add the mint to the pitcher with the blueberry lemon mixture. Stir well to combine.

Fill the pitcher with the remaining 500ml of water and give it a good stir. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.

Refrigerate the blueberry mint lemonade for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve the lemonade over ice, garnished with a sprig of mint and a few fresh blueberries.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1500g, with approximately 6 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 250g, with an approximate calorie count of 100 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to freeze some of the lemonade into ice cubes to add to your drink without diluting its flavor. This keeps your beverage cold without sacrificing taste.

I hope you give this unique blueberry mint lemonade a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it by adjusting the sweetness or adding different fruits for a twist. Cheers to refreshing summer drinks!
