To prepare mint simple syrup, combine sugar, water and mint in a small pan. Heat over high heat until boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce to low and cook for another minute. Carefully remove mint and set aside to cool.

To prepare blueberry mint puree, combine blueberries and mint simple syrup in a blender until thoroughly pureed.
