Remember how I went blueberry picking the other week? Well, knowing that the next What She Ate prompt was this week is "how sweet it is," I figured I should not let the opportunity go by to combine the two. Problem was, I was not in the mood for baking (I rarely am). I actually made a blueberry vinaigrette for a quinoa salad that I was going to share here, but while it wasn't bad, it wasn't really "YOUGOTTAMAKETHIS" worthy either. Instead, I went with one of my old standbys: a delicious drink.
I have a confession to make: I don't really like water. Not plain anyway. I mean, it's alright since it keeps me alive and all, but I'm not one of those people with a water bottle constantly attached to my hand. Mostly I drink tea and sparkling water when the urge hits, but I'm always on the lookout for ways to make water more appealing. Here, I went with muddled fruit.
1/4 c. blueberries
4-5 mint leaves
1 tsp. sugar
squeeze of lemon
Add these to the bottom of a glass, and using a muddler if you have one (you fancy bar mistress you), or a wooden spoon if you don't (I'm in this category), mash and mix well. When you're satisfied with your mash-abilities, top with sparkling water.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Why, yes, this WOULD be delicious with a bit of vodka thrown in! But it's plenty good as is, especially if it's before noon like it is for me. :)
Now go, fancy up your water!
