Step-by-Step Preparation

Preparing the Lemonade Base

1. Make Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan fill an equal measuring cup of sugar and water. Stir cook gently over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved to a point of almost invisibility. Allow it to cool.

2. Juicing Lemons: Pat the lemons on a counter top until they have become slightly tender; you then scoop out the flesh and leave only the skin; strain the juice from the lemons until you obtain a cup of it. Remove any seeds.

3. Combine Ingredients: Add the fresh lemon juice, cold water, and the simple syrup once it has gone cold into a large pitcher. Stir well to combine.

Adding the Blueberries

1. Mash the Blueberries: Put the blueberries into a bowl and, using a fork, barely mash them. This tenderizes their meat and relaxes their flavor.

2. Incorporate into Lemonade: Slowly pour the mashed blueberries into the lemonade base then gently mix the two so as not to break the blueberries further.

Combining with Sprite

1. Add Sprite: Just before serving, add Sprite to the sauce to stand out. Stir the soda gently to avoid this experience of the formation of bubbles popping.

2. Serve Immediately: For this cocktail add ice to the glasses and pour the blueberry lemon ade on top.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Lemonade

– Use Fresh Ingredients: You should use fresh blueberries and lemons which will give your drink a perfect taste. This recipe may be made with either fresh or frozen blueberries, but do not thaw the frozen berries before adding them to the drink.

– Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer your ice tea less sweet you can always fiddle with the quantity of the simple syrup. Begin with one jar and then add more if required.

– Chill Before Serving: It is recommended that all the ingredients kept very cold, so that when the customers receive them they feel as if they are cold to the skin.

– Presentation: When getting the glasses use clear ones if you want to make the lemonade look even more attractive. In any case, it is even more preferable to put the top with a few fresh mint leaves or lemon slice in order to give a proper appearance to the desert.

Health Benefits of Blueberries and Lemons

Blueberries and lemons are not only delicious but also packed with health benefits:

– Blueberries: Blueberries contain antioxidants vitamins C, K and dietary fiber that can lower the risk of heart diseases, improve the brain and digestive system.

Adding these fruits into your Sprite Blueberry Lemonade not only delivers additional flavors, but also nutrition value.
