Turmeric Free Blueberry Lemon Agua Fresca
Fresh blueberries and bright lemon juice come together in this gorgeous, jewel-toned drink that tastes like summer in a glass. It's naturally sweetened with maple syrup, so you can dial the sweetness up or down to suit your crowd — no refined sugar required. The blending and straining process is surprisingly satisfying, leaving you with a silky-smooth, vibrant liquid that looks almost too pretty to drink. A pinch of salt might seem unexpected, but it quietly rounds out the flavors and makes the berry and citrus notes pop even more. Poured over ice with a few lemon slices floating on top, this is the kind of refreshing drink that disappears fast at any gathering. Every single ingredient in this recipe is clean and straightforward, so there's zero guesswork about what's going into your glass.
