Ingredients

  • 20 ounces fresh blueberries, approximately 4 cups, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups water
  • 7 ounces sugar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Carbonated water

Directions

Place the blueberries and the water into a medium saucepan, set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into a colander lined with cheesecloth that is set in a large bowl. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Gather up the edges of the cheesecloth and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible. Discard the skin and pulp. Return the blueberry juice to the saucepan along with the sugar and lime juice. Place over medium high heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof glass container and place in the refrigerator, uncovered, until completely cooled.

To Serve: Combine 1/4 cup of the liquid with 8-ounces of carbonated water and serve over ice.

    The best Soda Ever!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a great recipe. It works with everything from dewberries to watermelon to grapes. Not to mention you know exactly... what goes in the soda, which is more then you can say even for gormet sodas.Plus the blueberry syrup is great on pancakes.Read more

    Works Well With Blackberries

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Blackberry Italian sodas are just about my favorite drink ever, so I tried this recipe with blackberries and it worked out so... well. Delicious. I can't wait to try it with blueberries, but it's a nice base recipe that seems like it would do beautifully with a lot of different fruits.Read more

    Wonderful Blueberry Soda

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Alton Brown was right -- once you taste the homemade blueberry drink you won't want to purchase any from the store. It is... the best fruit juice I have ever had. It is delicious without the carbonated water. Thanks so much!Read more

    Thinner than I thought

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Hi, Overall the syrup is very good and when you put enough in it makes for good blueberry pop. However, you need to use a... lot to make a soda so I'm not sure it was worth the whole bag of blueberries. Also, it was quite a bit thinner than I expected.Read more
