Instructions
Make Blueberry Syrup
Combine blueberries sugar and quarter cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 7 minutes mashing berries until they release their juice and the mixture turns a deep purple. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve pressing to extract all the liquid.
Brew Green Tea
Steep green tea bags in 175-degree water for 3 minutes. Remove bags without squeezing to prevent bitterness. Add fresh mint leaves to the warm tea and let them infuse for 2 additional minutes then remove.
Combine and Mix
Stir the blueberry syrup into the mint-infused green tea until fully combined. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Serve Over Ice
Fill glasses with ice and pour the blueberry mint green tea over the top. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint for a beautiful and aromatic presentation.
