Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, water, and dried lavender buds.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
4. After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to separate the solids from the liquid. Discard the solids.
5. Allow the blueberry lavender syrup to cool down to room temperature. You can speed up this process by placing it in the refrigerator.
6. To serve the soda, fill each glass with ice cubes.
7. Pour about 2 tablespoons (or more to taste) of the cooled blueberry lavender syrup into each glass.
8. Top up the glass with club soda, filling it to the brim.
9. Stir the mixture gently to combine the syrup with the club soda. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade Blueberry Lavender Italian Soda.
