Blueberry Lemonade Posted: 09 Aug 2011 03:01 PM PDT With all of the hot days that we have been having lately I have been thinking about ways to cool down and it seemed only natural to use the blueberry syrup in a chilled drink. When it comes to quenching thirst I find that a drink with a slight tartness does the best job so lemonade comes up at the top of the list and I was thinking that a blueberry lemonade would be perfect. Lemonade is actually pretty easy to make from scratch at home! You pretty much just need to squeeze some lemons, add a simple syrup, water and a generous helping of ice. During the summer with all of the amazing fruit around I often like to use a flavoured simple syrup like the blueberry syrup instead of just a plain old simple syrup and they elevate your average lemonade to something magical! Blueberry and lemon are a great flavour combination and it works amazingly well in lemonade form! What a great way to enjoy a momentary respite from the heat on a warm summer day! Blueberry Lemonade Sweet and tart lemonade just bursting with fresh summery blueberry flavour! Servings: makes 6 cups Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 0 Total Time: 10 minutes Printable Recipe Ingredients 1 cup blueberry syrup 1 cup lemon juice 4+ cups water ice Directions Mix the blueberry syrup, lemon juice and water.

Blueberry Syrup Posted: 09 Aug 2011 03:01 PM PDT Blueberries have to be one of my favourite parts of summer and with blueberry season finally here I certainly have been enjoying them. So far I have mostly just been having them by the bucket load for breakfasts either on yogurt or mixed in with peaches or melon but it was finally time to do something more with them. One of the first things that comes to mind when I think about blueberries is almost always pancakes and I figured that it would be nice to kick the season off with some blueberry syrup. This syrup is pretty simple, you just simmer some water, sugar and blueberries to extract all of that amazing blueberry flavour and colour into the syrup and then strain the solids from it. With just a few minutes of effort you can elevate those average every day pancakes to something completely new and wonderful. But why stop there? There are some many things that you can do with this blueberry syrup and I am looking forward to using it. Blueberry Simple Syrup A blueberry simple syrup that is great for mixing into drinks. Blueberry mojitos anyone?
