What You Need To Gather
Ingredients:
- 1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 T. fresh mint, crushed
- 1-2 T. real maple syrup
- 3 T. honey, (preferably local bees by the beach from Conrad Farms in Tanger Outlet).
- 3 c. water, divided
- ½ c. fresh lemon juice
- 1 c. club soda
- Ice cubes, to serve
Optional Garnish
- Mint sprigs
- Fresh blueberries
- Lemon wedges
Directions:
To prepare the blueberry maple simple syrup, combine the blueberries, mint, maple syrup, honey, and one quarter cup water in a small saucepan set over medium heat.
Simmer until the mixture is heated through and starts to thicken, approximately 4-5 minutes. As the mixture simmers, gently press the blueberries with a wooden spoon to release juices while stirring to combine with the other ingredients.
Remove from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer to separate the solids. Reserve remaining liquid syrup and set aside to cool.
Add lemon juice and remaining water to a large pitcher. Add blueberry maple simple syrup, to taste, and stir to combine.
Fill 4 glasses with ice and fill each 2/3 full with the blueberry lemonade mixture. Top off each glass with some club soda and garnish with sprigs of fresh mint, blueberries, and/or lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
