1. Rinse the blueberries, discard any stems or soft berries, and lightly crush them in a clean bowl with a spoon or muddler.

2. Transfer the crushed blueberries to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight lid large enough to hold all the liquid.

3. Add the white sugar and vodka to the jar, then seal it and shake well until the sugar has mostly dissolved.

4. Store the sealed jar in a cool, dark place at room temperature for about 4 to 6 weeks, shaking gently once a day for the first week.

5. After steeping, strain the liquid through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing on the berries to extract all the juice.

6. Pour the strained liquid into clean bottles, seal, and store in a cool, dark place. Keep refrigerated after opening.
