How to Make Blueberry Cream Soda
Step 1: Make the Blueberry Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Cook on medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the berries soften and release their color.
Mash lightly and strain the mixture through a sieve to get a smooth syrup.
Let it cool completely.
Step 2: Build the Drink

Add 2–3 tablespoons of blueberry syrup.
Step 3: Add Sparkling Water
Pour soda water over the syrup, leaving some room at the top.
