Blueberries are in season and I couldn’t be happier. This beautiful blueberry mint tea only uses a few natural, pure ingredients making it a truly delightful afternoon treat. (It would be perfect to have with this sprouted grain blueberry banana bread – oh yum).

I love to sit on my front porch, hearing the birds chirping while I write blog posts and sip this blueberry mint infused drink.
