Wild blueberry lemonade is super delicious, easy to make and a great drink on a hot summer day. Try this blueberry lemonade from foraged blueberries and you will immediately notice how strong and sweet the blueberries taste.
Blueberries are super-berries in terms of vitamins and minerals, and I will definitely recommend you to find the berries in the woods yourself. You can drink the blueberry lemonade as it is, or mixed up 1:1 with water or sparkling water if you want it to last a little longer. If you are into alcohol, a bit of vodka can be added and you have a wonderful alcoholic drink.
