Method
 

Making the Syrup
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, your choice of granulated sweetener, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until well combined and sweetener dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low-medium heat. Allow to simmer for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Gently crush the blueberries with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Increase heat to medium and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until syrup thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool before straining through a fine-mesh strainer. Press blueberries against the strainer to extract syrup. Discard skins.
  5. Let the syrup cool to room temperature and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Assembling the Drink
  1. Fill a tall glass with 3-4 ice cubes, leaving space for liquids. Pour in club soda to fill halfway.
  2. Drizzle in blueberry syrup to taste, then slowly pour in half & half.
  3. Optional: Top with whipped cream if desired.
