Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- Zest and juice of 8 lemons (about 1 1/2 cups of juice)
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- Extra berries and lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
Bring 2 cups water and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 30 seconds, and turn off the heat. Let cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, combine the sugar syrup, lemon zest and juice and another 2 cups water; stir until well blended.
Combine the berries in a blender and blend until pulverized. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Stir the juice into the lemonade pitcher.
Chill thoroughly before serving, or serve with extra ice. Garnish with a few whole berries (float them in the drink) and a lemon wedge.
