Instructions

Step 1 – Make the Blueberry Syrup

Combine the blueberries, Browning’s Honey, and water in a small saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. As the blueberries soften, gently mash them with the back of a spoon to release their juices.

Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup and allow it to cool completely.

Step 2 – Assemble the Lemonade

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled blueberry syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water, and Browning’s Blueberry Creamed Honey.

Stir until the honey has completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired.

Step 3 – Serve & Garnish

Fill glasses with ice and pour in the lemonade.

Garnish with fresh lemon slices, blueberries, lavender sprigs, and fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately.
