Ingredients

2 cups fresh blueberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

1 cup blueberry or original seltzer

4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes or until the blueberries are cooked down and the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, squeezing out as much liquid as possible and discarding the solids left behind. Stir in the vanilla paste or extract. Cool until room temperature.

Right before serving, stir the seltzer into the blueberry syrup. Divide ice cream into 2 serving glasses then pour soda over top of each one. Serve immediately.
