Blueberry Syrup Recipe

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!

Did you know wild blueberries are known to have better flavors and more health benefits than regular blueberries? Wild blueberries have more of an intense and tangy taste than cultivated blueberries.
