Ingredients
  

For the blueberry syrup
  • 1 cup blueberries (or frozen) Use fresh when in season for best flavor.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adjust based on desired sweetness.
  • 1 cup water
For the latte
  • 3 ounces espresso (or ½ cup strong coffee) You can also use cold brew concentrate.
  • 4-5 ounces milk of choice Experiment with different types, such as almond or oat milk.
  • 2 Tablespoons blueberry syrup Made from the previous ingredients.
  • Ice For iced latte

Method
 

Blueberry Syrup
  1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and berries. Heat over medium-high heat until it simmers, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once the berries are softened, gently smash them with the back of a spoon. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is bright purple.
  3. Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of the berries and seeds.
For Coffee
  1. Brew espresso or strong coffee using your preferred method.
Iced Latte
  1. In a glass, add the espresso (or cold brew).
  2. Pour in the milk and stir in the blueberry syrup.
  3. Add ice to the glass and enjoy your iced latte!
Hot Latte
  1. Pour milk into a mason jar and microwave for 1 ½ minutes. If it’s not hot enough, heat in 30-second increments until warm but not boiling.
  2. Carefully remove the jar and shake it vigorously for 30 seconds to 1 minute to froth the milk.
  3. Remove the lid and pour the hot milk over the espresso and syrup. Top with foam, and serve immediately, adding whipped cream if you wish.

Notes

Serve in a clear glass and pair with a slice of muffin or a light snack for a lovely afternoon treat. Store leftover syrup in the fridge for up to a week.
