When blueberries are in season, stock up! There's so many flavorful recipes to explore. Like this refreshing drink that combines juicy blueberries with flavorful basil snipped right from your Burpee garden.

A few sprigs of fresh basil (like Dolce Fresca or Sweet Italian Large Leaf)
A handful of blueberries

Toss the basil and blueberries into a carafe of water and chill in the fridge before serving. For the best blueberry flavor, crush a few of the berries by giving them a good squeeze before adding them to the pitcher. Water can be replenished for up to 2 days before the fruit needs to be discarded.
