Blueberry Crush
I've never liked full strength juices as I find them sickly sweet. So my kids have always had their juice diluted.
This is a perfect way to serve juice diluted, the bubbles from the soda water make it special, and the blueberries add a lovely flavour to it, the kids will never care that it is not full strength.
There is a tablespoon of added sugar in this, as sometimes blueberries can be tart. It is optional.
Also you can pass the blended juice through a sieve so no 'bits' of blueberries can be seen, I do it sometimes, if it is for a party, but my kids don't care if there is pulp, so I sometimes leave it in.
Here is a party drink that you can serve at your next kids party, easy and diluted so a win win for me.
