I believe blueberry and matcha make one of the best flavor combinations. In general, fruit flavors pair perfectly with matcha, but blueberry is easily in my top three favorite flavors. This versatile blueberry syrup can enhance other drinks too—try it in coffee, mocktails, sparkling water, coconut water, and more. Best of all, it is a simple blueberry syrup recipe that requires only three ingredients and less than 15 minutes!
