yield: 6 cups
total time: 10 minutes plus refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving
INGREDIENTS:
6 cups distilled or mountain spring water
4 green tea bags (I use Stash brand)

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
ice cubes, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Add the green tea bags to pot and cover with lid. Let tea bags steep for 3 minutes.
Remove tea bags.
Pour the tea into a blender. Add the blueberries and blend for a few seconds.
Pour the tea through a strainer into a large pitcher. Use a silicone spatula to push the mashed berries against the strainer to get all of the juice.
