Sparkling Blueberry Soda

One of the greatest frustrations of having a latex-fruit based allergy is the lack of fresh fruit. One of your options is to enjoy blueberries or cranberries (botanical family Ericaceae) rather than common allergy causing fruits such as apples or raspberries (Rosaceae) This is a simple beverage that can be nicely paired with other summer-time meals.
