Instructions
- (Optional) If you like smooth syrup, blitz the berries and water in a food processor (or NutriBullet). If you like a bit of berry in your syrup, you can skip this step.
- In a small saucepan, bring the berries, water, sugar (or honey), and lemon juice to a low boil. Then, reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the syrup begins to thicken to its 'syrupy' consistency (*see note).
- Remove from heat and allow it to thicken as it cools. Use warm right away, or store in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, be sure to include any juice from frozen blueberry packaging and reduce the amount of water used.
- Remember that once the syrup is removed from the heat it will continue to thicken. So make sure that you stop simmering before your syrup has reached your desired thickness.
- To store: Keep your blueberry syrup refrigerated in an airtight jar or container for up to 2 weeks.
