A refreshing change from ordinary iced tea. I bet it would be good added to some other drinks also...blueberry lemonade maybe???

1 pint (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blueberries or dry-packed frozen blueberries, rinsed and drained
2 cups water
1 cup sugar

Directions

1
Place blueberries in a saucepan with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
2
Set sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth (I use a thick papertowel) over a bowl and pour in the blueberry mixture.
3
Gently press out the juice with a spoon or by twisting the cheesecloth. Discard the pulp and measure the juice into saucepan.
4
Add 1/2 cup sugar for each cup of juice and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
5
Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes.
6
Chill and pour into covered jar. Store in refrigerator.
7
Add two tablespoons to each glass of prepared iced tea. Stir well and garnish with a lemon slice.

My husband loves anything blueberry. I used to make iced tea. It was a little sweet, so will adjust the sugar in the future depending on the sweetness of the blueberries. May also add a splash of lemon juice to the syrup.

What an easy way to flavor plain iced tea. I had a 2 cup pkg of blueberries frozen so I halved this recipe and now I am sorry I didn't make more. My syrup thickened a little, but that wasn't an issue as it thinned right out when adding to the tea. I'm trying to think of other uses for this yummy syrup. Blueberry margaritas maybe Thanks for sharing. Nick's Mom Made for My 3 Chefs 2007
