Notes
If you use unsweetened blueberry juice instead of fresh blueberry puree, double the amount of simple syrup. Also, make sure you mix everything but the half and half together first, especially if you use juice instead of puree. Blueberry juice is acidic and can curdle the half and half if you let them snuggle too early.
If you want to use sweetened blueberry juice or even blueberry jam, omit the simple syrup. Unless you want a sugar bomb, in which case go nuts!
