Ingredients

Simple Syrup

1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar

Lemonade

Simple Syrup recipe above
10 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 cups blueberries

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.
