Carrageenan Free Blueberry Lemon Lemonade

Bright, tangy, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this blueberry lemon lemonade is the kind of drink that makes you want to sit on a porch and do absolutely nothing productive. Store-bought lemonades and flavored drinks are notorious for sneaking in thickeners and stabilizers — carrageenan being one of the most common culprits hiding in plain sight on ingredient labels. This recipe sidesteps all of that by using nothing but fresh blueberries, real lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and cold water, so you know exactly what's going into every glass. The blending and straining method pulls a gorgeous deep-purple liquid from the blueberries that looks almost too pretty to drink — almost. Maple syrup adds a gentle, rounded sweetness that plays beautifully against the tartness of the lemons without tipping into cloying territory. Serve it over ice with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a presentation that genuinely looks like something from a café menu, made entirely in your own kitchen.
