So easy and sooo good. I loved the intense blueberry flavor in this soda. It was so quick to make, I'm scared, I'll be able to enjoy this as much as I want. Much nicer than anything you will buy in a bottle. Thank you for sharing this versatile recipe that can be enjoyed as bold flavor or soft and subtle. Made for My 3 Chefs - 2012.
