Blueberry Lemonade

Blueberries are very plentiful here right now. We have a non-spray farm not far from the house where we can pick a gallon’s worth of fresh blueberries for only $10. That’s a huge deal in my book!

With all these blueberries, I decided to whip up a batch of blueberry lemonade.  It’s one of my very favorite beverages!
