Hot Pink Lemonade

By á-10847

I was looking for a truly HOT pink lemonade, and this is it! If you do not like your berry whole,I put the blueberries in a saucepan with a little water and heated them up for a few minutes to get them to release their juices. Then I strained that mixture over my pitcher to avoid the seed problem. Worked like a charm. It was sweet (but not too sweet) and refreshing.

Ingredients

• Original recipe makes 3 quarts
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 1/4 cups fresh lemon juice
• 7 cups cool water

Preparation

Step 1

1.Boil one cup of water with the sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the liquid becomes clear. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Pour 7 cups of cool water and ice into a serving pitcher. Add the lemon syrup and blueberries; stir until you get a 'hot pink' color.
