Blueberry-Ginger Fizz Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

1 pint blueberries

1 cup water

¼ cup sugar

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

¼ cup crushed ice

2 tablespoons orange juice

¼ cup club soda

1 slice orange (Optional)

Methods :

Step 1

Bring blueberries, water, sugar, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, crushing the blueberries occasionally with a masher. Remove from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes. Pass the mixture through a food mill or fine mesh sieve to remove the skins of the blueberries. Set aside 1/4 cup syrup and store the remainder in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 2

Place crushed ice in a glass. Add reserved blueberry-ginger syrup and orange juice. Top off with club soda and stir to combine. Garnish with orange slice.
