This was very refreshing. I had to make a modification because I didn’t have lemon juice. Today I am making a cherry pie, so I did have about 1/2 cup of sour cherry juice. I look forward to making this as written when I get some lemons. It was delicious with the sour cherry juice!

Berry Lusciously Refreshing with a nice bite from the ginger! I didn`t have verbena so I used lemon balm. After straining one glass full I decided to not strain. I know not as pretty but I want to keep the skin because of all the benefits it provides. Thanks Made for ZWT6

I halved this as I only had half a cup of blueberries, I wish I had more as it was so very refreshing, next time I will make the full amount. It's such a nice change to make your own lemonade, so much better than bought. I just planted lemon verbena this year and it has really take off, so I was pleased to use it in this. Thank you so much for posting it was lovely. Made for ZWT#6 2010.
