Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
• 1/4 cup honey or simple syrup
• 3 cups cold water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
• Lime slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Rinse the blueberries thoroughly and place them in a blender. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, and half a cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.
2. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
3. Add the remaining cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine.
4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the blueberry limeade over the ice. The tangy aroma of freshly squeezed lime combined with the sweet blueberries will tantalize your senses.
5. Garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime for an extra touch of freshness and elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of honey or simple syrup to taste.
• For a pop of color and added flavor, toss in a few whole blueberries into each glass before serving.
• Chill your glasses before serving to keep your Blueberry Limeade extra cold and refreshing.
• For a fun twist, add a splash of sparkling water just before serving to give your drink a fizzy kick.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover Blueberry Limeade in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
• If fresh blueberries aren’t available, you can use frozen blueberries. Just thaw them before blending.
• For a vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
