I would perform Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing. There is already a reference methylome in human (and primate) blood from primary cells. https://www.cell.com/molecular-cell/fulltext/S1097-2765(11)00676-9
Its cheap (assuming your sequencing platform is cheap) and reliable.
I would also get in touch with the primary author of this study, she can provide some critical help and she is quite amazing.
