Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 cups water
- 2 black tea bags
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the fresh blueberries thoroughly under running water and set them aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the blueberries and 3 cups of water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Use a spoon to gently mash the blueberries as they soften to release their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags to the blueberry mixture. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a teapot or heatproof pitcher, discarding the solids.
Stir in honey (if using) and lemon juice until fully combined.
Pour the blueberry tea into cups and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve warm or over ice for a refreshing cold version.
