Steps:
- Start by squeezing out the juice of your fresh lemons using a lemon squeezer. Next, start to puree the blueberries and blackberries and pour the contents into a strainer when done. In a sauce pan, add the sugar and a 1/2 cup of water heating in on medium heat until the sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes or so). This will be the base of your lemonade. Remove it from the heat. Stir in the other 3 cups of cold water and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Steps:
- For the blueberry syrup: Put the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer until thick, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Strain the blueberries through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing to get all the liquid out, then place the liquid in the fridge and chill until cold (or place the pan in a bowl of ice to chill down fast).
- For the lemonade: Mix the sugar with 6 cups of tap water and stir until the sugar is dissolved to make a simple syrup.
- Pour the lemon juice into a large vat. Pour in three-quarters of the simple syrup and 8 cups of water (give or take). Add the blueberry syrup, stir it around and then give it a taste. Add more simple syrup if it needs sweetness, or more water if it needs dilution. Top up with lots of ice before serving.

BLUE LEMONADE
This is a real attention-getter! Something this pretty could only taste great! Summer is almost upon us, and it's time to put away the jackets, gloves, and hats! If you would like, and no children are going to be drinking this, feel free to add some of your favorite libation (alcohol) in it! This is almost purple, but it would look great at a BBQ party,4th of July or down by the beach! The water's fine, come on in!!! The amount is approximate and doesn't include cooling or refrigerating time.

Tips:
- Choose the right lemons. Meyer lemons are sweeter and less tart than regular lemons, making them a good choice for lemonade. If you can't find Meyer lemons, use regular lemons and add a little more sugar to taste.
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your lemonade the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as good.
- Don't over-sweeten your lemonade. Lemonade should be sweet, but not too sweet. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
- Chill your lemonade before serving. Cold lemonade is more refreshing than warm lemonade. You can chill your lemonade in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Add some fun garnishes. Sliced lemons, limes, oranges, or berries can add a pop of color and flavor to your lemonade.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can make delicious homemade lemonade that will be enjoyed by everyone. Lemonade is a refreshing and healthy drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is a good source of vitamin C and potassium, and it is also a low-calorie drink. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, reach for a glass of lemonade.
