Equipment

Small saucepan
Fine-mesh strainer
mug or pitcher
tea infuser (optional)
Spoon

Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 cups water
1 black tea bag (or herbal/green alternative)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
optional: cinnamon stick, ginger slices, or mint

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring blueberries and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes, gently mashing blueberries to release juices.
Remove from heat. Add tea bag (or infuser) and steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on preferred strength.
Strain through a fine sieve, pressing to extract all liquid. Stir in honey and lemon juice. Adjust to taste.
Serve hot in mugs, garnished with lemon or blueberries. For iced tea, let cool and pour over ice with mint or lemon.

Notes

Use ripe, sweet blueberries for the best flavor. Adjust steep time based on tea strength preferences. For iced tea, cool fully before pouring over ice. Optional spices like cinnamon or ginger add warmth. Herbal and green tea also work well.
