Yumm-O! I've been on a diet cola lark for a while now, so it was about time to try something new, and this did the trick quite nicely! I used frozen wild blueberries rather than fresh ones, as this time of year I didn't think they'd have much flavour in this application. I defrosted them for about an hour, and like Syd, was generous with them. I squeezed a wedge of lemon in as well - lime would work just as well. This was deliciously refreshing!

With just the 2 of us, I'm not usually that concerned about garnishes (unless it's a special occasion), but other than that, I doubled the recipe & followed it right on down (was a bit generous with the blueberries, though)! Nicely satisfying drink on a hot afternoon! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for this month's VIP player in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 24]
