How to Make Blueberry Lemonade

Put a little different spin on lemonade by adding blueberries. For the best results, use fresh berries, squeeze the lemon juice rather than buying a prepared drink and cook up a simple syrup. This method may take a few extra minutes, but it's well worth the time. Add this to my Recipe Box.
