In a small saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the blueberries break down and form a thick syrup. Remove from heat and strain the syrup into a container, discarding the solids.
Brew a fresh shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong coffee.
In another small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until warm, but not boiling. Whisk in the cocoa powder and chocolate syrup until fully dissolved and smooth.
Remove the milk mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the blueberry syrup into the bottom of a large coffee mug. Add the hot espresso or coffee, then slowly pour in the chocolate milk mixture.
Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more chocolate syrup.
Top with whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with a few fresh blueberries.
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent Blueberry Mocha!
