When the weather outside it hot and you’re trying to keep everyone hydrated, there’s only so much water you can drink. This honey blueberry lemonade is a delicious alternative that’s easy to mix up.

Make a pitcher for your next summer party or anytime you need something cool and refreshing to drink.

This recipe also makes a fun summer science activity for kids. Before we mixed up our pitcher, I asked my kids what color they thought the lemonade would be. They know that blue and yellow makes green and it was fun to watch the lemonade turn pink!

Serve this lemonade over ice if you like. Add more blueberries for a garnish. We like using frozen blueberries because they keep the drink cold and make a fun pop of flavor.

This recipe is really simple and the result is a drink that’s a bit tart. If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, you can add more honey – up to twice as much. You could also substitute your favorite sugar or sweetener in place of the honey.
