Blueberry Tea, or some other sort of Blueberry Drink???
I've got yummy fresh blueberries. I want to make a Tea out of them.
I don't want to put them in a blender and make a smoothie (that's obvious).
I'd like to make a Blueberry IcedTea to go with dessert .

If you leave the cornstarch out of this, it would be terrific served over ice!!
