Blueberries are very nutritious and can be put into almost any recipe. Here is a quick and simple recipe for a blue lemonade, perfect for hot summers!

The last recipe in the Red, White and Blue Lemonade Theme is the Blue Lemonade!

I have to admit that I couldn’t get the blue color right.

I tried with blueberries and blackberries to no avail. I crushed them, chopped them, pureed them and yet, I couldn’t get the blue color to appear on camera.

I have discovered that steaming red cabbage in hot water turns the water into a very beautiful blue shade. It doesn’t affect the taste of blue lemonade, so, I am going to use that as my natural food coloring when I need blue. You can read my post about stuffed red cabbage here.

This blue lemonade is very electric and will definitely bring everyone to the lemonade stand
