Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups blueberries, divided
- 1 cup local honey
- 1 bunch fresh mint, plus extra sprigs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 quarts lemon-flavored sparkling water
Instructions
- Place 1 cup blueberries, honey, mint and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer and continue to heat for several minutes, stirring constantly until the berries burst. Remove from heat and cool.
- Gently squeeze berry mixture through cheesecloth-lined sieve into an airtight container (discarding blueberry pulp and mint) to make a blueberry syrup. Chill.
