Easy Blueberry Simple Syrup
This blueberry simple syrup is super easy to make, and great in cocktails, iced coffee, and even on pancakes! A quick, fresh blueberry syrup recipe that you can whip up in just a few minutes and keep on hand for all your fruit syrup needs.
Servings: 1 + cups of syrup
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
Instructions
- 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.
