Preparation

Step 1

Bring blueberries to a boil with 1 cup of water. Reduce to a simmer. Mash them on the side of the pan with the back of a spoon so they burst open. Add the lemon juice and mint leaves. Simmer for another 5 minutes. With a fine mesh sieve, strain juice into a bowl. Discard solids. Combine with 6 cups cold water. Add honey to taste and refrigerate until cold. Serve with lots of ice.

The amount of sweetener you will need depends upon how sweet your fruit is to begin with. Add sweetener slowly if needed at all.
