Step 1

Rinse blueberries in cold water and set aside. Place water in any container with a tight fitting lid. Tip: Repurposing a 52 ounce juice container works well. Add blueberries and sugar to container. Place lid on container and tighten. Shake container vigorously until the sugar has dissolved. Place container with blueberries and sugar in refrigerator to infuse for at least 8 hours. Always shake vigorously before serving too. The water will mostly be clear but it may have a very slight tinge of pink.

Step 2

I like adding the fresh squeezed lemon juice when serving this beverage. Add juice from 1/2 lemon to an 8 ounce glass filled with ice cubes. Then pour the infused berry water over the ice. Serve and enjoy! This recipe will make 4 8-ounce servings.TIP: You can usually make a second batch with the same blueberries. Instead of tossing the blueberries out maybe you’d like to try making my blueberry cobbler recipe. The blueberries shouldn’t be that waterlogged.
