2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves, then simmer for 2 minutes to make simple syrup.
Step 2: Remove from heat, add 2 cups fresh blueberries and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
Step 3: Transfer to a blender with 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves. Blend until completely smooth.
Step 4: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract all liquid. Discard seeds and mint stems.
Step 5: Pour into a shallow dish and freeze for 2 hours, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes until smooth and slushy. Serve immediately with extra mint leaves.
