Ingredients
Scale
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Strain if Desired: Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the berries with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice, if a smoother lemonade is preferred.
Mix the Lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the remaining 3.5 cups of water, and the blueberry syrup. Stir well.
Adjust the Sweetness: Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness to your liking.
Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the blueberry lemonade over, and add your choice of garnishes before serving.
