You'll need:
1 1/2 cup blueberries
2 tbsp splenda or other sweetener (stevia is great, I just don't have it at the moment)
1 1/2 cup blueberries
2 tbsp splenda or other sweetener (stevia is great, I just don't have it at the moment)
1/2 tbsp honey
2 bags Tetly Green tea
5 cups water
1. Pour more water than required into your kettle and turn it on.
2. Measure out your berries and put them into a big bowl of some sort, something that can handle the heat of boiling water.

3. Squish your blueberries by hand or using a potato masher. They don't need to be mush, but every skin should be broken.
4. Throw in your honey, sweetener and tea bags. Mine isn't all that sweet, so if you like it sweeter I'd say add a tablespoon more sweetener.
5. Measure out 5 cups of boiling water (don't burn yourself!) and pour it over your mushed berries and other stuff.
6. Let it sit there and brew for 20 minutes, then put it in the fridge
7. I took mine out of the fridge after 2 hours and 40 minutes, so mine was pretty strong. I'd say shortest you'd want to leave it in is an hour.
8. Sieve out all the chunks and seeds and voila!

9. Serve cold, maybe even with ice cubes! I actually ended up watering it down a little with about half a cup of water, I wanted more than I had and could spare the intensity of the flavor by a little.
Enjoy! :)
