Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 cup water and 1/2 cup fresh blueberries. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, then simmer for 5 minutes until blueberries burst and release color.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and strain the blueberry syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on solids to extract flavor; discard solids.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup fresh lemon juice and the remaining 3 cups cold water into the pitcher, mixing well.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate the lemonade base for at least 1 hour to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  5. Step 5: Just before serving, add 2 cups sparkling water and 2 cups ice cubes to the pitcher, stirring gently.
  6. Step 6: Pour into glasses garnished with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for a refreshing, effervescent drink.
