How to Make Blueberry Syrup for Drinks (Naturally Sweetened)
Once you master how to make Homemade Blueberry Syrup without refined sugar, you can enjoy healthy, cafe-quality drinks at home! Use this naturally sweetened blueberry syrup for drinks like latte, matcha, tea, and cocktails.
Ingredients
- ½ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring it to a gentile boil and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to smash the blueberries. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a jar. Strain the mixture through the sieve to remove blueberries from the syrup. Use a spoon to gently squeeze the berries (avoid mashing them to prevent the syrup from being cloudy). Save the blueberries for other recipes(like yogurt topping). Alternatively, you can keep the berries in the syrup or blend until smooth in a blender, depending on the texture you prefer.
- Use for drinks. Let cool completely and store in an air-tight jar in the fridge.
