Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, your chosen granulated sweetener, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until sweetener dissolves, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add blueberries to the base and simmer over low to medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Mash the blueberries in the saucepan to release more juice and simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl.
  5. Transfer syrup to a container and chill in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours.
  6. In a tall glass, add ice cubes and fill halfway with club soda.
  7. Pour the blueberry syrup over the ice and club soda.
  8. Slowly add half & half over the syrup to create layers.
  9. Top with whipped cream if desired.
