One of the best ways to ensure that you are using high-quality blueberries to make drinks at home is to buy local. Locally-grown blueberries, like the ones grown here at Keel Farms, simply taste sweeter and riper!
Once you’ve acquired your local blueberries, it’s time to create the foundation for many delicious blueberry-flavored drinks: blueberry simple syrup. Made from only four ingredients (blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice), this thin syrup serves as the perfect base to sweeten any beverage.
Delectable Ideas For Your Next Blueberry-Infused Drink At Home
Some of the easiest blueberry-infused drinks to make are safe for every member of your family – even the little ones!
The perfect respite from a hot Florida summer’s day is a cold glass of blueberry-infused water, which will both hydrate and provide some of the powerful health benefits found in this sweet fruit. Simply allowing blueberries to sit in your glass of water will add the most delicious flavor to a naturally plain drink.
By adding some of your blueberry simple syrup to tonic water, you can also have a healthier homemade blueberry soda. Because the blueberry simple syrup already contains sugar, this simple blueberry soda recipe is sweet, delicious, and a healthier alternative to traditional sodas.
If you love a chilled lemonade as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, adding blueberry simple syrup to traditional lemonade will add distinct and delightful flavors to this summertime classic. If you prefer iced tea to lemonade, you can also add blueberries to iced tea, puree, and enjoy.
One of the most well-known ways to utilize blueberries in a drink is to make a blueberry smoothie. This nutrition-packed drink is entirely customizable based on preference and is an easy way to add a ton of essential vitamins and minerals into your day. We recommend including local Plant City blueberries, greek yogurt, honey, bananas, and some ice for a simple and delicious snack.
