Blueberry Drink Syrup For Blueberry Iced Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blueberries or 4 cups dry-packed frozen blueberries, rinsed and drained
2 cups water
1 cup sugar

Preparation

Place blueberries in a saucepan with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
Set sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth (I use a thick papertowel) over a bowl and pour in the blueberry mixture.
Gently press out the juice with a spoon or by twisting the cheesecloth. Discard the pulp and measure the juice into saucepan.
Add 1/2 cup sugar for each cup of juice and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes.
Chill and pour into covered jar. Store in refrigerator.
Add two tablespoons to each glass of prepared iced tea. Stir well and garnish with a lemon slice.
