Blueberry Lemonade

Take ordinary to extraordinary this summer with a pitcher of this blueberry lemonade.

The temps are close to 120 degrees this week in Phoenix, which means I am in need of a cold beverage at all times.  Although we drink a lot of water around here, it can get a little old.  Lemonade is a classic summer drink for hot days, and is one of our favorite refreshing summer drinks.  I decided to combine our classic lemonade recipe with one of my kids favorite fruits, blueberries.  This blueberry lemonade is so delicious and a great twist on a classic summer drink.
