Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash the fresh blueberries thoroughly under cool running water and drain them well.
In a blender, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cold water.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 30-40 seconds, or until the blueberries are completely pureed.
Add the crushed ice to the blender and pulse until the mixture reaches a slushy, smooth consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary. Blend for a few more seconds to combine.
Pour the Blueberry Shiver into two chilled glasses.
Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint if desired and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
