I bought a pretty hefty container of blueberries and decided to make a syrup with some of it. I may have been a bit over eager with the quantity I thought I could eat. I mean, a lot of little berries fit in the big package!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbs honey
1/4 cup water
lemonade
soda water
Directions:
In a small saucepan, cook blueberries, sugar, honey, and water over medium-low heat.

Gently mash the blueberries while stirring occasionally. Bring to a low boil.
Let cool to room temperature.
Strain through a wire sieve into a bowl. Gently press any remaining liquid out of the remaining skin.

Let chill in the refrigerator for an hour until cool.

Fill a glass with ice and fill half way with lemonade.

Add another 1/4 full of soda water, then 2-3 tbs blueberry syrup.

Add in a few blueberries and a straw. Voila!
It was good. The bubble addition isn’t necessary, but it did add some spunk. I used crystal light lemonade which is sweeter than tart. 
suggested serving adaptations:
over pancakes
into smoothies
in sangria/cocktails
over ice cream
into yogurt
with berries on a cheese plate





























Toss gently to coat.
