Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags, and let steep for 5 minutes. Then remove the bags. Add 1 cup of ice cubes and stir until completely melted. Pour the tea into a liquid measuring cup and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the sugar with 1/2 cup water over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat, add the mint, and stir until wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Strain the cooled mint syrup into a large measuring cup or pitcher, then press the leaves with a wooden spoon or spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the mint. Add the blueberries and, using a wooden spoon or potato masher, lightly crush most of the berries (you can leave a few whole). Add the iced tea and blend.
- To serve, fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Divide the blueberry mixture among them. Top each glass with sparkling wine. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve immediately.
