Blueberry Water Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 lemon (optional, for added flavor)
• Fresh mint leaves (optional)
• 6-8 cups of cold water
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water.
   • If using lemon, slice it into thin rounds.
   • Gently crush the mint leaves with your fingers to release their flavor.
2. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a large pitcher, add the blueberries. If you like a stronger flavor, gently muddle (crush) some of the blueberries with a spoon to release their juices.
   • Add the lemon slices and mint leaves (if using) to the pitcher.
3. Add Water and Ice:
   • Pour the cold water into the pitcher over the ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
   • Add ice cubes to the pitcher to keep the water cold and refreshing.
4. Infuse and Serve:
   • Allow the water to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors infuse. The longer it sits, the more intense the flavor will be.
   • Stir before serving. Pour the infused water into glasses, making sure to include some of the blueberries and lemon slices.
5. Enjoy:
   • Sip and enjoy this refreshing, antioxidant-rich drink! It’s perfect for a hot day or anytime you want a hydrating and delicious beverage.
