Blueberry Ginger Daylight

Blueberry and ginger offer a gentle fruit flavor followed by a little peppery warmth. Because blueberries are mild, they need to be split or lightly crushed to contribute much to cold water. Ginger releases its character more readily, so begin with less than you think you need. Give the berries time to catch up before adjusting. The contrast should feel fresh, not like a ginger drink with blue decorations.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cold water
• 1/4 cup Blueberries
• 2 slice Fresh ginger

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.
