Easy Blueberry Simple Syrup Recipe adds a sweet and fruity flavor to drinks, making it perfect for a hot summer cocktail day. The best part of making your own blueberry syrup is that you can adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking.
Rinse the blueberries and add them to a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the water and sugar to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and the mixture has thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add the lemon juice to the blueberry syrup and stir to combine.
Store the blueberry syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Now that you have your blueberry syrup ready, you're one step closer to making a delicious Blueberry Lemon Drop cocktail!
