Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the blueberries thoroughly. Remove any stems or damaged berries.
Step 2
In a large glass jar or airtight container, combine the blueberries, vodka, and lemon zest.
Step 3
Cover the container tightly and shake it gently to mix the ingredients. Store the container in a cool, dark place for 4 weeks. Shake it gently once per week to help the flavors combine.
