Coffee is a year round necessity. It is great to warm you up in the winter and it is the perfect way to get a nice boost of energy in the summer. Coffee has no season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Iced<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While coffee may be great year round, it is fun to switch up the flavors in your coffee to make it seasonally appropriate. Pumpkin spice coffee in the fall, a peppermint mocha in the winter and a blueberry coffee in the summer sounds like a great coffee line up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we will tell you all about how to make blueberry coffee, a perfect summery treat. We make our own homemade blueberry coffee syrup using fresh berries. It doesn\u2019t get much better than this! So let\u2019s get brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How to Make Blueberry Coffee Syrup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to making blueberry coffee is to make blueberry coffee syrup<\/a>. Sure, you can buy blueberry coffee syrup but we find the homemade<\/a> stuff to be so much better. That real blueberry flavor can\u2019t be beat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making blueberry coffee syrup is super easy. Start with fresh blueberries and you will get a syrup with a perfect, fresh, ripe taste. Here is how to make the syrup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Add the blueberries, water and sugar to a small pot and bring the mix to a boil.<\/li>
  2. Lower the heat so the blueberry mix is just simmering and let the syrup cook for about 15 minutes. It will get nice and thick.<\/li>
  3. Stir in the lemon juice, salt and vanilla.<\/li>
  4. Pour the mix through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the pulp to get as much syrup as possible.<\/li>
  5. Let the syrup cool and then use it to make blueberry coffee!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Our homemade blueberry coffee syrup will last for about two weeks in the fridge in an airtight container. It makes about 1 cup of syrup which is enough for about 16 drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The syrup will also freeze well. Store it in the freezer for up to three months. Having fresh blueberry syrup on hand, ready to use is like a dream come true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>How to Make Blueberry Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have your blueberry coffee syrup made, the rest of the coffee recipe is easy. You do need cold brewed coffee. Make coffee in your regular drip coffee pot but use 1 \u00bd times the amount of coffee ground. For example, if you usually use 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds to brew one cup of water, use 3 tablespoons of coffee grounds instead. This will help make the cold coffee extra strong and prevent it from being watered down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once the coffee is brewed, let it chill in the fridge. We like to make it a day in advance so it's nice and cold. The brewed coffee will last in the fridge for up to two weeks so make a bunch and it will be ready whenever a blueberry coffee craving hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Add the blueberry syrup and cold coffee to a tall glass. Add cream if you\u2019d like but the coffee will already be sweet enough thanks to the syrup. Cream of milk is a good addition, though. A blueberry and cream coffee sounds irresistible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fill the glass with ice to ensure the coffee is super cold. Add a big straw and enjoy! Pretty easy, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
