This blueberry milk is a refreshing fruity flavoured milk you can make all year round. Fresh or frozen blueberries are cooked and pureed into a syrup for a simple, healthy treat or snack.

Equipment
Medium or large saucepan.
Fine mesh strainer (and muslin, nut milk bag or mesh produce bag optional).
Storage bottle with tight lid or large mason jar.
I served mine in these cute mini carafes.
Straws. Wide straws like thick shake straws or boba straws are great but any are fine.
Instructions
Place the blueberries, water and sugar into a medium or large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved and the juice produced has started boiling.
Leave the blueberries on a low-boil for 10-15 minutes, stir from time to time, until slightly the blueberry juice has slightly thickened.
Blitz the blueberries and the thickened blueberry syrup, to a puree in an electric blender.
Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer. For a super smooth puree, strain it a second time through muslin (or mesh produce bag or nut milk bag - the latter will take a little longer). Be careful when doing this as it can get messy - use gloves and squeeze gently so it doesn't squirt in all directions. Squeeze as much juice through as possible and discard the leftover seeds & pulp.
After all is said and done, you should end up with roughly or just over 1 cup blueberry syrup. Let the blueberry puree cool to at least room temperature - you can speed this up in the freezer.
In a large bottle or jug, add the cooled blueberry syrup, milk and maple syrup and whisk lightly to combine (if you can't fit in a whisk, just seal the top and give it a shake.
Store in the refrigerator, in a sealed bottle or jug for 3-4 days
Enjoy cold, shaking well before pouring into individual glasses.
