Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Granulated stevia or other diabetic-friendly sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups Club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, water, and granulated stevia.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and release their juices, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the blueberry mixture into a bowl or measuring cup, pressing the berries with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
In a pitcher, combine the strained blueberry syrup and fresh lemon juice. Stir well.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour 1 cup of club soda into each glass.
Divide the blueberry-lemon mixture evenly between the two glasses and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
