PREPARATION

  • Brew the green tea: Steep green tea in hot water for 3–4 minutes, then allow it to cool at room temperature. For quicker chilling, refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
  • Prepare the blueberries: Mash the fresh blueberries with a fork or blend them for a smoother consistency. Strain if desired to remove pulp.
  • Combine ingredients: In a serving glass, mix the chilled green tea with the mashed blueberries. Stir well to distribute the fruit evenly.
  • Add lemon juice and honey: Pour in the lemon juice and stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Add ice cubes and serve: Drop in the ice cubes and enjoy immediately for a refreshing, chilled experience.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

None

TIPS

  • For a stronger blueberry flavour: Let the mashed blueberries steep in the tea for a few minutes before straining.
  • For a smoother texture: Blend and strain the blueberries before adding them to the tea.
  • For an extra citrus kick: Add lemon zest or a splash of orange juice.
  • For a colder drink: Freeze blueberries and use them instead of ice cubes.
  • For an enhanced antioxidant boost: Use organic green tea and fresh, ripe blueberries.

VARIATIONS

  • Caffeine-free version: Replace green tea with herbal tea such as chamomile or hibiscus.
  • Sweeter alternative: Increase honey or use maple syrup for a richer sweetness.
  • Sugar-free option: Omit honey or replace it with stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
  • Fizzy version: Replace half of the tea with sparkling water for a bubbly drink.
  • Herbal twist: Add fresh basil or mint for an aromatic infusion.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir it before serving.
  • Freezing: Pour the tea into ice cube trays and freeze. Use these ice cubes to chill future drinks without diluting the flavour.
  • Make-ahead tip: Brew and chill a larger batch for easy serving throughout the day.
