Staying away from synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT can make even something as simple as flavored water surprisingly tricky — many store-bought options sneak in additives to extend shelf life. This infused water keeps things completely clean, relying on fresh blueberries, mint, lemon, and cold filtered water to do all the work. The trick of gently cracking the blueberries open — rather than mashing them — lets just enough juice bleed into the water for a soft, jewel-toned color and a delicate berry flavor that doesn't turn muddy. Mint adds a cool, refreshing lift that makes every glass feel a little more special than plain water. After an hour in the fridge, the whole pitcher smells incredible and looks gorgeous on a table. It's the kind of drink that works just as well at a casual weekday lunch as it does at a weekend brunch spread.

Place the blueberries in a large pitcher and gently press them with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon just until they crack open and release their juice — do not mash them into pulp.
Add the mint sprigs and lemon slices, if using, to the pitcher.
