- Place blueberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves (if using) into a large glass pitcher or jar.
- Pour 1 liter (4 cups) of filtered water over the fruit and herbs.
- Gently stir with a wooden spoon to combine flavors without bruising the berries.
- If desired, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of honey or agave syrup for sweetness.

Notes
Use fresh, firm blueberries and thinly sliced lemons for best flavor. Avoid over-muddling berries to prevent cloudiness. Infuse water for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours or overnight. Consume within 24-48 hours for optimal freshness. Glass pitchers are preferred to avoid flavor absorption. Frozen blueberries can be used as a chill alternative without diluting flavor.
