Use fresh blueberries in your green or black tea for a unique beverage with the same effect as blueberry leaves. Consider organic blueberries, grown without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals.

Purchase ready-made blueberry tea bags for brewing tea when away from home or when you may not have the time to create a homemade brew. Bags may not offer as many antioxidants as you can get by making your own brew, but they offer a convenient way to benefit from the health properties found in blueberry tea.

Add variety to a daily intake of blueberry tea by trying cream or milk for a frothy treat. You may want to use sugar, honey or flavored syrup to sweeten and improve the drink. This helps counteract the bitterness that some people taste when drinking blueberry tea.

Create your own fruit tea mixture by adding other fruit, such as pomegranate, cherry or blackberry.

Look for decaffeinated blueberry tea bags or make your own mixture with decaffeinated teas if you want to avoid the effects of caffeine.
