Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- Fresh blueberries make a lighter syrup; frozen blueberries release more juice and give a deeper color.
- Omit water or use less when using frozen berries — they release plenty of liquid on their own.
Storage:
- Keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 7 days. Shake before use.
Swaps:
- Use raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries with the same method.
- Swap maple syrup for cane sugar or agave.
Tips:
- Strain for a smooth, clear syrup for lattes and cocktails. Leave chunky for pancakes and yogurt.
