Blueberry Lemonade

 Happy 4th of July, almost!  This really is a great holiday with fun activities, delicious food, and fun times.  

I figured y'all most definitely needed this BLUE drink to really ring in the holiday properly.

This Blueberry Lemonade is absolutely delicious!  It's quickly made, looks fancy, and the most delicious lemonade you will ever have.

A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to the local food truck local one Friday date night.  Seeing all of the food trucks in one place was fun, but the non-profit lemonade food truck that served their drinks in mason jars is what got my money.  This blueberry lemonade was inspired by that food truck.  

With this simple recipe you won't need to spend nearly as much money as I did to get a delicious blueberry lemonade.  This lemonade recipe can be made quite cheap, and in less than 10 minutes.  Though, if you make the Blueberry Lemonade ahead of time the flavors will be enhanced and taste even better the next day.  
  

Though, you'll be lucky if it lasts that long in your fridge without be slurped down.  

The minute I finished taking pictures my kids drank more than half of the quart of lemonade before we made it to the dinner table.  It's that good, and it's way too easy to make.
