Equipment
- 1 1.5-quart saucepan
- 1 fine mesh strainer
- 1 storage container
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- 148 g blueberries fresh or frozen, washed if fresh (1 cup)
- 200 g sugar granulated (1 cup)
- 236 g water filtered (1 cup)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed, optional
Instructions
- Wash 148 g (1 cup) of fresh blueberries and set them aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine 200 g of sugar (1 cup) with 236 g of water (1 cup) and heat it over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, add in the 148 g (1 cup) of blueberries and 1 tbsp of fresh squeezed lemon juice (if using) and simmer over medium heat for 15 mintes. If you want your syrup to be thicker, simmer it for a bit longer, up to 30 minutes, until more water reduces.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the berries.
- Store your simple syrup in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge, or freeze for longer storage.
