Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon blue food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing blueberries occasionally with a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
- Stir in blue food coloring if desired for a brighter blue color.
- Transfer syrup to a jar or bottle and refrigerate until cold.
Tips
- Use in cocktails like a Blue Lagoon or mix with lemon-lime soda for a Pepsi Blue-like drink.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a thicker syrup, simmer an additional 5 minutes.
