I have the perfect summertime, refreshing treat for your tastebuds! My Dad was from Arkansas and raised me to appreciate a good glass of sweet tea. This was so easy to throw together and so refreshing. I started out by making a blueberry simple syrup with infusing blueberries with sugar and water. I then brewed some tea and added the blueberry syrup to it. It added such an amazing, fruity sweetness. Serve with some fresh blueberries and mint and enjoy your sips by the pool this summer!
