In a small sauce pan, add the blueberries and water.

Put a small strainer over a large glass measuring cup and let the juice strain through.
Use a spoon to help make sure all the juice goes into the cup. Discard solids or reserve for something else. This should make 1 cup or more of blueberry liquid.
