A freshly made blueberry compote brings sweetness and berry flavor to the classic half lemonade, half iced tea refreshment. It’s a notch below super spicy thanks to sliced jalapeno and extra tart from the addition of lemon juice along lemonade and black tea. All together, it’s quite the complementary blend of spicy, sour, and sweet. This one’s not far off from a hole-in-one!
