I discovered Blueberry Milk very recently, when I was trying to decide what on earth I was going to do with all the Blueberries Chase brought to us one day. A Blueberry Milk recipe was the best idea (and became healthier once I swapped out the sugar for honey!)

What makes this recipe so yummy

The natural flavors in this blueberry milk make it taste better and is so much healthier. You will love offering this healthy alternative to your children.

My kids were chocolate milk freaks, until they tried this.

Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

four images showing the recipe steps to make blueberry milk
  • Step 1: Place the blueberries, honey and water into a medium sized pan (saucepan) and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Step 2: Strain the remnants out with a sieve, that will give you a nice thick blueberry syrup.
  • Step 3: Decant into a jar and refrigerate for use when desired.
  • Step 4: Mix syrup with milk, when desired.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

I wanted to make my blueberry milk just a little healthier by swapping out the sugar for honey. It isn't as sweet, however.

Which I don't mind, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but if you think the honey is not going to cut it go ahead and use granulated sugar instead. Just swap it out during the simmering process.

You could also try maple syrup.

You can use skimmed milk, whole milk or even almond milk will work well with this recipe. Substitute for strawberries, and make strawberry milk.

Necessary gear: Equipment

No special equipment is required, just a pot to simmer the ingredients and a sieve to strain the syrup.

How to store leftovers

Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

It also freezes well (just the blueberry syrup). Add the syrup to an ice cube tray, freeze, then remove the syrup cubes and put into a freezer safe ziplok bag and pull them out when you need to.

Mel's kitchen notes

Make the syrup and store in the refrigerator. That way you can make blueberry milk on demand (or even add to ice cream desserts, etc).
