Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • whisk
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Jar or Bottle
  • Stovetop

Ingredients
  

Syrup Base

  • cup fresh blueberries
  • cup brewed coffee strong
  • cup granulated sugar
  • tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • tsp lemon zest
  • pinch salt
  • tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Lightly mash blueberries in a bowl to release juices while keeping some texture.
  • Add blueberries, coffee, sugar, lemon juice, and zest to a saucepan. Stir well.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves fully.
  • Cook for 10–12 minutes until syrup thickens slightly and berries soften.
  • Check texture; syrup should coat the back of a spoon without becoming too thick.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt for balanced flavor.
  • Strain for a smoother finish or keep texture. Cool completely before storing.

Notes

Simmer longer for thicker syrup or reduce time for a lighter consistency. Chill to slightly thicken. Freeze in small portions for extended storage. Stir before use if separation occurs. Adjust lemon for more brightness. Store refrigerated up to one week in an airtight container.
