How to Make Blueberry Drink Syrup For Blueberry Iced Tea

  1. Combine 2 cups of fresh blueberries and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the blueberries to release their flavor.
  3. Set a fine-mesh sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth over a bowl. Pour the blueberry mixture into the sieve.
  4. Gently press the mixture with a spoon or spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
  5. Measure the extracted blueberry juice. You should have approximately 1 cup (adjust sugar accordingly if yield is different).
  6. Return the blueberry juice to the saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar for each cup of juice. Stir well to combine.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  8. Bring the syrup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
  10. Pour the cooled syrup into a clean, airtight jar or container.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. To serve, add 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup to each glass of prepared iced tea. Stir well and garnish with a lemon wedge or fresh blueberries.
