Make the Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
Strain the Syrup: Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the blueberry syrup, lemon juice, and 4 cups of cold water.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the lemonade and add more water or syrup to adjust sweetness and tartness to your liking.
Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the blueberry lemonade. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh blueberries, if desired. Serve immediately.

For a stronger blueberry flavor, muddle some fresh blueberries in the bottom of your glass before adding ice and lemonade.
You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference and the tartness of your lemons.

For a sparkling version, top with club soda or sparkling water.
