Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade

Grocery
Blueberries (about 1 cup/8 ounces)
6-7 lemons
Seltzer water

Pantry
Raw cane sugar


Directions
First, make a simple syrup by combining juice of all the lemons (should give you about 1 cup) with equal amount of sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir until sugar is well dissolved. Turn heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes until reduced by about 25%. Let cool for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, puree the blueberries in a food processor. When ready to serve, spoon 4 tablespoons of blueberry puree over ice in a drinking glass. Add two tablespoons of lemon syrup and fill to brim with chilled seltzer water. Garnish with a lemon slice and/or fresh mint leaves if you wish. Stir and enjoy!

Bon Appetit! Kelly
