Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions
- Make the syrup: Combine blueberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer 10 minutes, crushing berries with a spoon to release juices.

- Top with 1/2 cup sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprig of lavender if desired. Serve immediately.
