Notes
Use high‑quality food‑grade rose water and start with a small amount — you can always add more but not remove it.
Ripe, deeply colored blueberries give the sweetest flavor and the most vivid violet color.
The rose water adds a subtle floral perfume that turns ordinary blueberry lemonade into something special.
Strain the blueberry puree very thoroughly to remove all tiny seeds for the smoothest texture.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as natural separation occurs.
