Pink and blueberry lemonade

Makes 4 cups

When life gives you lemons—make pink and blueberry lemonade.

1/3 cup

Granulated white sugar

1 1/4 cup

Blueberries

1/2 cup

Lemon Juice

With sugar:

In a 1 litre measuring cup, combine sugar, 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of blueberries and ½ cup (125 mL) of water.
Microwave on high until hot (for about 1 minute), stir until sugar dissolves.
Add lemon juice and enough water to make 4 cups (1 L). Chill.
Pour into thermal tall glasses with ice cubes, add chilled blueberry mixture and remaining berries, dividing equally.
Garnish with lemon slices if desired. Pour extras in a thermos.

No added sugar version: Sweeten with your favourite low calorie or no calorie sweetener—I use Stevia.
