Low Iodine Vegan Blueberry Lemonade with Fresh Mint

Bright, jewel-toned, and bursting with summer flavor, this blueberry lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a plain glass feel like a special occasion. Fresh blueberries are simmered down into a deeply colored syrup with sugar and water, then steeped with mint leaves until the whole thing smells like a garden. That syrup gets strained smooth and stirred together with freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water — sparkling water works beautifully here if you want a little fizz. Managing iodine intake can make packaged beverages tricky, since additives and colorings in store-bought drinks are often hard to verify, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to account for. Fresh fruit, fresh citrus, sugar, and water are all naturally low in iodine, so you can sip without second-guessing the label. Poured over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, it's genuinely stunning to look at and even better to drink on a warm afternoon.
