Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor, but frozen blueberries also work well.
Add sparkling water just before serving for a refreshing fizzy version.
Store the drink in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Adjust the lemon juice and sweetener to match your preferred balance of tartness and sweetness.
For a smoother presentation, strain the liquid twice through a fine mesh sieve.
Q&A
Q: Can I use red cabbage instead of purple cabbage?
Yes. Red cabbage and purple cabbage are the same vegetable in most grocery stores and work equally well.
Q: Can I prepare this ahead of time?
Absolutely. The drink tastes even better after chilling overnight as the flavors blend together.
Q: Can I make it without sweetener?
Yes. The blueberries provide natural sweetness, so honey or maple syrup is completely optional.
