I realize now is not really the season for a cool drink. However, punch is still served at holiday parties and this one is really yummy and different! In this recipe, I share how to make the base, add equal amounts of water and Ginger Ale to make a the punch!
| 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 2 cups water 1 pint blueberries (fresh or frozen) | 1-1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 10 big lemons, including pulp but not seeds) |
First make a simple syrup by combining 1 cup sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the mixture boils. Lower the heat and allow the syrup to simmer for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool. In a blender or food processor, puree the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. In a pitcher, combine the cooled syrup, lemon juice and blueberry puree. To serve, pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of base into a glass and fill with water. Makes a base for 12 servings.
