Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Mist 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; line with parchment paper.
- In bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of the flour, baking powder and salt. In large bowl, using fingers, rub sugar with lemon zest; beat in butter until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

- In bowl, whisk icing sugar with remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth; whisk in water, 1/4 tsp at a time, until consistency of molasses. Drizzle over top of loaf; let stand until set. Top with more blueberries, if desired; sprinkle with mint (if using).
