Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh blueberries
- 500 milliliters whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries under running water and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, milk, and honey.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to simmer. Avoid boiling to prevent the milk from curdling.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the blueberries to soften and release their flavor.
Using a hand blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend for just a few seconds.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the blueberry milk through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any remaining solids, if desired.
Transfer the blueberry milk into glasses. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of ground cinnamon on top for a garnish.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
