The thermometer is climbing as the warm summer temperatures arrive. To combat the heat, we should cool down with a tall glass of this large-batch Blueberry Lemonade, which strikes the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Blueberries are muddled, then mixed into freshly squeezed lemon juice, cool water and simple syrup to create this refreshing beverage. Blueberry Lemonade is the perfect non-alcoholic drink to enjoy during the summer months.

Instructions
Make the Simple Syrup
In a saucepan over high heat, combine the water and granulated sugar.
Swirl the mixture around the pan until the sugar dissolves.
When the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat, and set aside.
Make the Lemonade
In a large glass container, combine the water, simple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice and muddled blueberries.
Stir with a large spoon until combined.
Chill overnight or pour over ice.
If chilling overnight, strain the lemonade before serving, removing bits and pieces of blueberries, as well as lemon pulp, if need be. (Or leave them in if you don't mind it!)
Chill with the frozen blueberries, and serve cold.
Notes
This recipe can be halved to create a smaller batch of lemonade.
