Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or agave syrup
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1.5 cups Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 drop Blue food coloring (optional)
- 2 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
In a small bowl, mash the fresh blueberries with a fork until they release their juices.
To the mashed blueberries, add lemon juice, honey or agave syrup, and one mint leaf. Stir until well combined.
Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the blueberry mixture into a mixing glass to remove any solids. Press down on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add ice cubes to two serving glasses, filling each about halfway.
Divide the strained blueberry mixture evenly between the two glasses.
Pour sparkling water into each glass, filling them up. If using, add a drop of blue food coloring to each glass and gently stir for a vibrant hue.
Lightly bruise the remaining mint leaves by clapping them between your hands, then add three mint leaves to each glass for an herbal note.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice on the rim, and serve immediately.
