Raybans to Rodeos: Blueberry Simple Syrup

Spring means one thing to me: fresh berries and flowers! Recently, I sent M on a task to bring home as many berries as he could from his trip to the local H-E-B. He did not disappoint and brought home raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries.

However, that is a lot of berries! In attempt to not waste a single berry (and being out of vanilla coffee syrup), I decided to use the remaining blueberries to create Blueberry Simple Syrup for use in our coffee and at-home craft cocktails.

It was unbelievably easy to create this syrup and let me tell you firsthand, it was delicious.

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 (One) Cup of Water
1/2 (One-Half) Cup of Sugar
1 (One) Cup of Blueberries

HOW YOU DO IT:

Boil the sugar and water together and stir until the sugar dissolves. This should take about 3 minutes.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the blueberries.
Reduce the boil to a simmer and continue to cook until the blueberries begin to break down and shrivel. This takes about 5 minutes.
Allow to completely cool before adding to a jar and placing in the fridge. I let mine cool about 30 minutes.

ENJOY! I will be posting a craft cocktail soon. I am still perfecting it for you all. :)
