Blueberry Lavender Bliss in a Glass 🌸💙

Ever had one of those days where the sun’s shining, and you’re just like, “I need something refreshing, like NOW!”? Yeah, that was me last Saturday. It’s wild how a drink can totally change your mood, right? So, I whipped up this Blueberry Lavender Spritzer, and OMG, it was like summer in a glass.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, gather ’round! Here’s what you need:
– 1 cup of fresh blueberries (like, don’t even think about using frozen—this is a fresh party!)
– 1 tablespoon of dried lavender (I used some from my mom’s garden but, honestly, the store stuff works too!)
– 2 cups of sparkling water (bubbles are life)
– 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup (sweetness is key)
– 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (gotta balance it out, ya know?)
– A handful of ice cubes (because, duh)
– And if you’re feeling fancy, fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (but like, no pressure).

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, quick backstory time! Last summer, I went to this cute little tea shop, and they had this blueberry lavender drink that was like a hug in a cup. I was like, “I need to make this!” So, I experimented, and, well, here we are. It became my go-to summer drink. Plus, I always get compliments when I serve it at parties—like, people are totally impressed and think I’m a mixologist or something. 😂

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

Alright, here’s the scoop: the *steeping* part is where the magic happens. After the blueberries burst their juicy goodness, let that lavender steep for a solid 10 minutes—trust me, it makes everything so fragrant and dreamy. It’s like giving the drink a spa day, haha!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t rush the simmering – Seriously, let those blueberries burst. If you’re impatient (I feel you!), it won’t be as flavorful.
2. Strain like a pro – Use a fine mesh sieve! Get all that syrupy goodness out. Don’t leave any behind!
3. Adjust sweetness – Taste before you pour it! Some folks like it sweeter, some don’t. You do you!
4. Chill your glasses – If you wanna take it next level, chill your glasses beforehand. Just pop ’em in the freezer for a bit.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so this is more of a “good luck” warning. 😅 But if you’ve got leftovers (which, honestly, is rare), just store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Mix it with fresh sparkling water when you’re ready to relive the magic. But, like, don’t blame me if it’s all gone in a day!

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, dried lavender, and honey or agave syrup. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the blueberries have burst and the mixture is fragrant.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the blueberries to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and allow the blueberry-lavender syrup to cool.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled blueberry-lavender syrup with the lemon juice and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the spritzer over the ice. Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
