Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ – 1 cup light brown sugar depending on sweetness preference
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 oz milk your choice dairy or non-dairy
  • 2 shots espresso
  • Handful of ice
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp blueberry syrup

Instructions

  • Make the Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, brown sugar, and water. If you prefer your latte extra sweet, feel free to add more sugar—just keep the sugar-to-water ratio equal by adding more water as well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the blueberries to soften. After 5 minutes, use a spoon or muddler to gently mash the blueberries, releasing more of their juices. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture has thickened slightly, remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a glass jar or bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the solids, and let the syrup cool to room temperature.

  • Assemble the Iced Latte: In a tall glass, add 2 tablespoons of the blueberry syrup. (You can store the remaining syrup in the fridge for up to a week—it’s perfect for adding to more lattes or drizzling over pancakes.) Add a handful of ice to the glass. Pour in 6 oz of your preferred milk. Finally, pour in the freshly brewed espresso shots. Optional: Make the cold foam by frothing together the heavy cream, milk, and syrup. You can do this by using an electric frother, using a handheld frother, using a blender, or shaking in a jar with a lid.
