2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

# Instructions:
01 -
In a saucepan, mix the blueberries, sugar, water, and lime juice. Heat until it boils, then lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve to strain and let the liquid cool down completely.

Grab a tall glass and mash the lime pieces with the syrup using a muddler. Gently press in the mint leaves but don't overdo it.

Toss in the blueberries, then pack the glass with ice. Pour in sparkling water or soda and stir lightly so everything blends together.
04 -
Clap your mint sprig between your hands to release its scent, then pop it on as a finishing touch.
# Notes:

This is a cool, booze-free twist on a mojito, bringing in mint and fresh blueberries.
02 -
The syrup makes roughly 2 cups and can be kept in your fridge for later use.
03 -
Stick to fresh ingredients, and don't mix too much to keep it nice and pretty.
