Ingredients
  

For the Blueberry Juice

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine frozen blueberries, water, and organic raw sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow to bubble gently for 5 minutes. Mash the blueberries with a fork and strain into a bowl to reserve the blueberry juice.
  2. In the meantime, bring filtered water to a boil, remove from heat, and let cool slightly to 170-180°F. Steep green tea bags or loose-leaf tea in the hot water for 3 minutes. Strain tea and set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine reserved blueberry juice and cooled green tea. Squeeze in the juice from 1 fresh lemon and stir gently. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour, or serve immediately over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices.
