Notes
This recipe makes 6 servings. Store extra blueberry-ginger mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days.
The drink can be made sweeter by adding more honey or agave nectar.
For a stronger ginger taste, let the ginger steep in the mixture for 30 minutes before straining.
Replace sparkling water with ginger ale for extra sweetness and fizz.
Make ice cubes with blueberries frozen inside for a fancy presentation.
