There are a few things that you’ll need to make this Blueberry Strawberry Lemonade recipe. One is a fine mesh sieve. This will help you strain the fibrous bits from the berries, and the lemonade, if you so choose. A countertop ice maker is always handy, especially when company is over, or if you have a large family. And of course, you don’t want to forget a great pitcher. I actually have a few of these, and I really like them because they fit in the door of the fridge.
