Blueberry Lemonade
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To prepare the cooling drink, mix blueberries with honey or sugar, syrup, or topping, blending them in a blender. The berries will impart their flavor and color to the liquid, enriching it with beneficial vitamins and minerals. It's best to add chilled water—still or sparkling, as preferred—to the lemonade, so the drink can be served immediately. The beverage is ready to serve.

Strain the prepared drink through a sieve and discard the residue—it is no longer needed. You can use it to make an aromatic tea by pouring boiling water over it. Place the lemonade in the refrigerator for 30–40 minutes to chill completely, if you did not use cold water.
