Blueberry Twist

From the book Cool Waters by
Serves 4
Prep Time 5 minutes

Introduction

Blueberry and lemon are two flavors that were practically made to go together. I’ve seen so many recipes that wed the two that to see blueberries listed without some form of lemon seems almost unorthodox. The ginger gives a little kick of spice at the end, a surprise finish that will leave your friends guessing when they taste it.

Ingredients

½ cup fresh blueberries
~ Zest of ½ lemon
1 large pinch of ground ginger
1 cup still water
4 cups chilled sparkling water

Steps

  1. Place the blueberries, lemon zest, ginger, and still water in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, for about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Add the sparkling water, stir gently, and serve.

I can’t wait to try this with the Rocky Mountain Blueberries I picked at the local farm.

This sounds incredible! I usually eat my blueberries with lemon yoghurt or lemon sorbet. It just seems like the perfect combination. But adding ginger to a drink with lemon and blueberries? Now that’s inspired!
