let me introduce to you: The Little Earl Grey. a holiday mocktail with a wild blueberry-thyme earl grey simple syrup, muddled blackberries and grapefruit soda ✨

wild blueberry-thyme earl grey simple syrup:

1. add 4 single serve earl grey tea bags to a saucepan with 2 cups boiling water.
2. turn off the heat and let steep 5 minutes. do not go past that time or it can taste bitter.
3. remove the tea bags to add 3/4 cup frozen wild blueberries, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
4. turn the heat back on to medium high. bring to a boil then reduce heat to LOW to simmer for 20-25 minutes, until reduced and slightly thickened.
5. let cool to room temp then strain and store in a glass container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

other ingredients you’ll need:
- simple syrup (above)
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- grapefruit soda
- fresh blackberries (muddled)

to make the mocktail:
1. muddle 2 to 3 fresh blackberries in a glass.
2. add a few tablespoons of the simple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it!) then a squeeze of lemon juice (about 2 teaspoons) then top off with grapefruit soda.
3. give a little stir before serving.
4. we had fun garnishing with a dried blood orange and carrot green top!
