What You Will Need To Make Our Blueberry Smash Tea Mocktail:

Hibiscus Blueberry Tea. This mocktail starts with brewing up a pot of hibiscus blueberry tea; we used The Republic of Tea blueberry hibiscus tea. 

Blueberry Smash. Make blueberry smash using fresh blueberry, light brown sugar, a couple of tablespoons of fresh-squeezed of lemon juice, and a few muddled mint leaves. Bring the ingredients to boil in a saucepan and mash the berries to release the juices. Get the recipe down below. 

Honey. Adding a little bit of honey (or guava syrup) makes this mocktail shine. Use whatever kind of honey you have on hand, from clove honey to lavender honey. A little sweetness goes a long way.

Fresh Mint & Orange Slices. Tea and fresh mint have a history, and it’s a rich history, but that’s not all we’re adding a slice of sweet orange for a hint of citrus.
