About 30 Labrador tea leaves per teacup or mug

Iced Blueberry Labrador Tea

8 cups of brewed Labrador tea

2 cups blueberries (fresh or thawed)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

In a large saucepan, bring blueberries and water to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until blueberries break down, about 5 minutes. Add blueberries to the brewed Labrador tea. Add brown sugar to the blueberry tea mixture; stir and then let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. Strain mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a pitcher. Stir in lemon juice. Serve over ice cubes
