In a medium saucepan, add the blueberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat after 1-2 minutes, when the blueberries are soft. Use an immersion blender to blend the blueberries (do not put hot liquids in a regular blender as this can cause the lid to burst off. If you don’t have an immersion blender, let the blueberries cool slightly and if possible, leave the lid part way open. Once blended, strain the mixture with a sieve or cheesecloth.

Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan and simmer 5-7 minutes. Cool completely and then serve in a variety of ways! I love it in ice water or seltzer or on top of yogurt. It would also make a delicious pancake syrup! Enjoy!
