Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups blueberries
  • ¼ cup fresh water
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • ice
  • mint leaves to garnish

Instructions

  • Blend the blueberries, water and maple syrup. Check the consistency and adjust to add more water to preference.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve into your glasses. You may need to strain twice for a 'liquid' consistency.
  • Add ice to your glasses, then top with the blueberry juice. Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve immediately.

Notes

  • As an optional ingredient, you can add a squeeze of lime juice (my low histamine readers will likely not wish to do this).
  • Adjust the amount of water to preference. If you like a more intense flavor keep to ¼ cup water. For more of a blueberry water, add more water. The ice cubes will water it down also, so factor that into your choice.
  • If you do not have a small strainer, then place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and strain that way. Alternatively you can use a cheese cloth.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
