This vibrant, fruit-forward drink is the kind of thing that makes a hot afternoon feel like a celebration. Fresh blueberries are simmered down with sugar and water until they burst into a jewel-toned syrup, then steeped with mint leaves for a floral, cooling depth that you simply cannot get from a bottle. Freshly squeezed lemon juice brings the brightness, and you can finish it with still or sparkling water depending on the vibe you're going for. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and naturally free of any animal products, so it fits effortlessly into a pescatarian lifestyle without any substitutions or label-checking required. The result is a gorgeous, deeply purple lemonade that looks stunning poured over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice on the rim. It's refreshing enough to serve at a backyard gathering but easy enough to throw together on a weeknight just for yourself.

Combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the sugar dissolves completely, about 5–7 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the 8 mint leaves. Let the mixture steep for 15 minutes, until the syrup is deeply colored and fragrant.
