Blueberry Lemonade 

• 2 cups fresh blueberries, picked over from stems

• ½ to ¾ cup sugar depending on the sweetness of the blueberries

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 2 cups cold water

• Superfine sugar, if needed 

Taste on the blueberries to determine the sweetness. In a blender or food processor, process the blueberries and granulate sugar until smooth strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a medium-size bowl, stirring and pushing on the puree to get all the juice.

Pour the blueberries juice into a 1-quart container. Add the lemon juice and water and stir or shake to combine. Check for sweetness, adding superfine sugar to taste, if needed.

Chill until very cold and serve over ice.
