Instructions(Optional) If you like smooth syrup, blitz the berries and water in a food processor (or NutriBullet). If you like a bit of berry in your syrup, you can skip this step.1 cup blueberries, ½ cup waterIn a small saucepan, bring the berries, water, sugar (or honey), and lemon juice to a low boil.
