Blueberry Peach Lemonade

Blueberry Peach Lemonade

2 cups peach syrup drained from canned peaches (add water to make 2 cups if necessary)

1 cup sugar

2 cups blueberries (fresh or canned)

1 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4-5 lemons)

2 cups or more, Ice water to taste.

Mint to garnish.

Heat peach syrup and sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved.  Add two cups of blueberries, bring to a boil, and let the mixture simmer to your taste.  I wanted a lot of blueberry flavor so let it simmer 10 minutes.

Drain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing the berries to extract all the juice.  If you like, reserve the mashed blueberries and mix with butter for your toast the next day.

Let the mixture cool, then pour into a pitcher and add the lemon juice.  Add ice water to taste, and let it chill in the fridge.

Serve over ice, garnished with mint.
