Blueberry Lavender Herbal Infusion

1. Prepare the Base

1. Steep 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender flowers or one lavender tea bag in 120ml freshly boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain well and chill in the refrigerator until cool.

2. Combine and Shake

1. In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the chilled lavender tea, blueberry juice, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup.
2. Add a scoop of ice cubes and shake gently for 8 to 10 seconds to blend and chill thoroughly.

3. Build and Serve

1. Fill a highball glass with fresh ice cubes.
2. Strain the mixture over the ice into the glass.
3. Top with sparkling water and give a brief, gentle stir with a barspoon to integrate without losing effervescence.
4. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries, a lemon wheel, and a sprig of fresh lavender.
