Recipe : Blueberry Mint Iced Tea

This Recipe would be absolutely lovely for any summer event. From picnics to pool parties and especially barbecue's... or in my case, tea for one on the back porch at sunset with my evening read.

What you'll need:

1 c (loosely packed) fresh mint leaves
1 c of fresh or frozen blueberries
1 c of sugar
4-6 black tea bags
Water
Stainer
Knife
Cutting board
Food Processor

Directions:

Finely chop the mint leaves. Combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and your chopped mint leaves into a pan. Boil until sugar is dissolved.  You've made a mint simple syrup! Strain out mint leaves.

Boil 4 cups of water on stove, once boiling add 4-6 tea bags, depending on the desired strength, I did 6!

Combine 1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of water into your food processor. Create a Juice like substance of fruit puree. Strain.

Combine tea, blueberry puree, and your mint syrup into a pitcher.
