1.) In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and the water; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar fully dissolves. (You just made simple syrup.)

2.) Combine the blueberries and the lemon zest in a glass bowl.

3.) Pour the hot simple syrup over the blueberries and lemon. Let cool to room temperature, cover, and place in the frig for 24 hours.

4.) After 24 hours strain the syrup into another container and it is ready for use and/or storage.

HINT: Do not throw away the blueberries after straining, they have many delicious uses!
