Blackberry Lemonade

I love lemonade. Any kind, any flavor! But fresh lemonade is so much better. Besides sweet tea, lemonade is the perfect, refreshing drink for summer. Here's a little spin on it. You can substitute any type of fruit you prefer.


Ingredients:

• 4 cups water, divided
• 1 cup sugar (can substitute Splenda)
• 1 cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
• 1 cup blackberries

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups water and sugar to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon peel and remaining water; cool slightly.

In a blender, combine 1 cup of lemon mixture and the blackberries; cover and process until blended. Strain and discard seeds. Pour blackberry mixture and remaining lemon mixture into a pitcher; stir well.  Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice.

Enjoy!
