I saw this recipe earlier at: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Blueberry-Soda

Alton Brown's recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/blueberry-soda-recipe/index.html

It seems like a few more steps, but I think they're helpful.

In the end they both come down to adding carbonated water to the syrup.

You could always figure out your volume of syrup and water needed to bring the batch to full strength then bottle in 2 liter bottles.
But I'm more inclined to recommend you keep it as a syrup and add the carbonated water.

Thanks...I did see the alton brown recipe but that is too much sugar for my tastes.

May I ask why you are recommending the carb'd water?
