While the blackberries will fade, that color is going to seep into the lemonade mixture. \u00a0This is exactly what you want.<\/p>\n<p>After a half hour of steeping, squeeze out the lemon halves and discard. \u00a0In a large gallon beverage container add in sugar then strain the lemonade and blackberry mixture with a fine mesh strainer as you pour it into the gallon container. \u00a0Discard any lemon pulp and blackberry bits. \u00a0Stir mixture and add in cold water to help dilute the lemon and blackberry mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Stir, pour into glasses and serve!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blackberry_lemonade2.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13922\" title=\"Blackberry Lemonade\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blackberry_lemonade2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blackberry_lemonade2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blackberry_lemonade2.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Just to reiterate, to make the blackberry lemonade, you&#8217;re going to do all of the same things that you do <a title=\"Homemade Lemonade\" href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/2011\/07\/homemade-lemonade\/\">to make regular lemonade.<\/a>\u00a0 The only change is adding in 1\/2 a pint of blackberries.\u00a0 Make sure you look over or print out the lemonade recipe so you have that on hand.<\/p>\n<p>With it being blackberry season right now, this is a perfect thing to make to quench summer thirsts. \u00a0The blackberries create a gorgeous color for the lemonade and add a bit of sweetness to the drink as well.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone will be a fan of this drink and you can make it even more fun by adding in some seltzer to it for a bit of fizzy action.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have fun guys, and remember, always play with your food!
