Easy Blueberry Simple Syrup

Cook Time: 10 minutes Servings: Yield: 1+ cups of syrup Source:

Ingredients

8 ounces of blueberries, fresh or frozen (I always use organic)

1 cup of filtered water

4 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice, including liquid ones)

Splash of vanilla

Directions

In a small saucepan, add your blueberries, water, and sugar.

Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 7-10 minutes. Use a spoon or potato masher to mash the blueberries as they soften.

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes but ideally a bit longer so it's not boiling hot.

Then strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove all the pulp. You can store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or two.
