Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pints blueberries, rinsed and de-stemmed
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup brandy
Lemon wedges
Mint sprigs

Steps:

  • Combine blueberries and sugar in a saucepan with 1/3 cup water. Cook at a low simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries are very soft. Strain juice through a fine sieve into a pitcher (or using a funnel, into a clean, empty wine bottle). Press gently with the back of a spoon to release all juice from berries. (If desired, pass juice through a cheesecloth to remove seeds.) Add brandy to pitcher or bottle, and refrigerate. Shrub will keep for several weeks.
  • To serve, fill a tall glass with ice. Then fill it halfway with cold water or sparkling water. Top off glass with shrub, and garnish with a mint sprig and a lemon wedge.
