Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (frozen will also work)
  • 1 cup mint leaves (a few stems are fine too), coarsely chopped
  • 1.5 cups fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (you can add more if you have a sweet tooth)
  • 4-5 cups filtered water

Method
 

  1. In a blender add blueberries, mint, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and deep purple. The mixture will look a bit like a smoothie.
  2. Pour mixture into a fine mesh strainer placed over a medium bowl. Use a spatula to press the liquid through the strainer leaving the blueberry pulp and fresh mint in the strainer. Discard the pulp. Pour the blueberry, mint, lemon juice into a pitcher and add water. Taste and add more water (or sugar?) according to your taste.
  3. Serve chilled.

Notes

Can adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
