- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
- 4 cups 2% milk (or milk or dairy alternative of your choice)
Put sugar, water, and blueberries in a medium-size saucepan and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until blueberries have burst and mixture has thickened.
Strain mixture into a bowl, being sure to press down on the berries to extract as much juice as possible. Keep syrup in bowl or pour into a mason jar and place in fridge to cool completely before using.
Pour milk into glasses and mix in 3-4 Tbsp blueberry syrup until combined. Taste and add more syrup if desired.
Garnish glasses with fresh blueberries.
- The homemade blueberry syrup should stay fresh in your fridge for about a month when kept in an airtight container (I recommend a mason jar).
- Keep in mind that some dairy alternatives have an off-white color and may affect the finished color of the blueberry milk.
