How do you make fresh Blueberry Lemonade?
First, simmer the blueberries and lemon juice until the blueberries pop. Now strain the juice through a fine wire mesh strainer pushing the juice of the fruit through with the back of a spoon. Then pour the blueberry mixture into a pitcher, with several cups of water and the sugar. Add more or less sugar for your preferred sweetness. Finally stir thoroughly to blend the sugar, chill, and serve poured over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, or fresh blueberries.
Look at all that amazing refreshing goodness! Put the ingredients on your shopping list today and your guests will be singing your praises!

How many 4 servings does it take to make a gallon? I want to use this for my wedding.
Beth Pierce
There are 16 cups in a gallon and this recipe will make about 6-7 cups. So if you double it you will be a little short and if you triple it you will be a little over. Congrats on your upcoming wedding. How exciting.
