Ingredients
- 10 g Mixologists Garden Freeze-dried blueberries
- 125 g White sugar
- 125 ml Water½
- ½ teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the sugar, water, lemon juice and freeze-dried blueberries into a small saucepan.
- Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, stirring frequently. Do not let the syrup boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and leave it to infuse for 30 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine meshed sieve, nut bag or piece of muslin, pressing the fruit down with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the fruit.
- Decant the liquid into a bottle and store it in the fridge.
Notes
- Don't use golden sugar or brown sugars as they will impart flavours not suited to this blueberry simple syrup for cocktails.
- If you are worried about small particles of fruit being evident in the syrup then strain it through a nut bag for a purer finish to the blueberry cocktail syrup.
- Use a small funnel to decant it into bottles if they have thin necks.
