How to Make French Sodas Blueberry Strawberry Or Raspberry

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Add 2 cups of your chosen berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries) to the saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the berries have softened and released their juices.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Use a fine-mesh strainer to separate the berry pulp from the syrup, pressing gently to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
  4. Allow the berry syrup to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate until ready to use (at least 2 hours).
  5. To make one French Soda, fill a tall glass with ice.
  6. Add 1/4 cup of the chilled berry syrup to the glass.
  7. Top with sparkling water.
  8. Gently add a splash (about 2 tablespoons) of half-and-half.
  9. Stir gently with a straw to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
