Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour 1.5 cups fresh blueberries, 0.75 cup lemon juice, 2 cups water, and 3 tablespoons sugar into a blender.

  2. Step 2

    Cover the blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and uniformly purple with no whole berries visible.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the blueberry-lemon mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing gently with a spoon to extract all liquid; discard the pulp.

  4. Step 4

    Divide 1 cup ice cubes between two tall glasses, filling each glass about one-third full.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the strained blueberry lemonade over the ice, dividing it evenly between the two glasses until each is nearly full.

  6. Step 6

    Stir each glass with a long spoon for 5 seconds to distribute the flavors, then serve immediately.
