Notes
To make blueberry simple syrup, simmer 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup blueberries for 10 minutes, cool, then strain.
Adjust sweetness by reducing syrup or increasing lemon juice.
Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
For a party batch, multiply ingredients and shake individual servings with ice before pouring.
Store homemade syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
