Blueberry Lemonade

Directions

1. 1
   In a small saucepan combine the first amount of water, the sugar, half of the blueberries, and the lemon zest over medium to medium high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook until the blueberries begin to fall apart. (I let this simmer about 10 minutes.) Remove mixture from heat and let it cool.
2. 2
   When the blueberry syrup is cool pour into a blender and blend approximately 30 seconds. At this point you can strain the blueberry mixture with a fine mesh strainer if you wish, or use it as is.
3. 3
   Make sure to remove any seeds from the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
4. 4
   Grab a one gallon container. Pour in the lemon juice, blueberry syrup and fill the pitcher the rest of the way with water and ice. Add the reserved half of the blueberries.
