Food Ideas: Frozen blueberries in milk

I'm going to bet that pretty much all of you reading this will not try this "recipe", which is a shame, because if you love blueberries, you are missing out.

I don't know what it is that weirds people out when I tell them about one of my favourite breakfasts to eat in the summertime, but the looks I get when I explain it always make me laugh.  I have been eating this since I was a kid, and I think only one person (hi Liz!) responded enthusiastically to the idea.

Have I intrigued you yet?

The recipe is a simple one.  Two ingredients: frozen blueberries, and milk.  That's it. I think my mom used to sprinkle sugar on hers, but I enjoy the tartness of blueberries, so I leave it as it is.

There are a couple of tips I use:

1. Use fresh blueberries that you have frozen.  I'm not a big fan of store-bought frozen fruit.
2. Before you freeze the blueberries, make sure you wash them, let them dry, and then put them in the freezer. 
3. Before you make this, the blueberries have to be FROZEN solid. Usually overnight will do it.
4. Let the blueberries sit in the milk for about 3-5 minutes before you start to eat your concoction.

What happens is that the blueberries freeze the milk around them, giving you a fun slushy breakfast that is so refreshing to eat in the hot summer months.  Seriously... this is good.  You need to try it.

I double dog dare you.
