I made two different flavored waters for Penelope’s end-of-the-school year party. The lemon-orange slice combo was meh, but the lemon-blueberry one was amazing! I loved that it came out pink, I will make this again for Penelope’s ballerina party for sure.

blueberry lemon flavored water recipe

I used three lemons and about a cup of blueberries to two gallons of water and ice. First, I sliced the lemons thin and threw them into the beverage dispenser. Then, I added blueberries. Once they were in the container, I mashed them up a bit with a wooden spoon. I added the water and ice next and let it sit for about an hour before the party started.

I have continued to make this for myself to have on hand. It feels like you are drinking a special, sweet treat, but it is healthy!
