Homemade Sugar Free Blueberry Syrup

  2. Add blueberries and stir. Bring to a simmer on low–medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
  3. Mash the blueberries to release juice and let it simmer for another 8–10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, cool, and strain.
  5. Cool the syrup in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before using.
Cream Soda Assembly
  1. In a glass, add ice, fill halfway with club soda, add blueberry syrup, and slowly pour in half & half.
  2. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Serve in a tall, chilled glass and sip slowly to observe the changing textures. For a perfectly layered pour, add syrup to the club soda first, then gently float the half & half over the back of a spoon. Store blueberry syrup in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days.
