Summer is almost over! It feels like those three months with no school have flown so quickly and now, school’s starting soon again. I’ve made a lot of food over summer, but one of my favorites was a blueberry limeade concentrate. It’s tart and sweet, and is such a great drink for summer. I really enjoyed this drink, especially when chilled or frozen.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups of fresh blueberries
- 1 1/4 cup of sugar
- 2 cups of water
- 3/4 cup of lime juice
DIRECTIONS:
- Put the blueberries, sugar and water in a saucepan. Cook them on medium heat.
- When it starts to boil, start breaking down the berries with the back of a spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved and the berries are crushed.
- Strain the syrup using a sieve, extracting as much juice as possible by pressing down on the berries.
- Allow syrup to cool down slightly, then stir in the lime juice. Keep in the fridge
- To make a drink, fill 1/3 of the cup with juice and 2/3 of the cup with water.
Serving Suggestion: Make popsicles. You’ll still have to dilute the mixture with water, and it comes out really well!
