5-Ingredient Iced Blueberry Latte

I’ve been obsessed with this iced blueberry latte ever since I first threw together frozen wild blueberries and espresso on a whim last summer. The combination of tart blueberries with creamy oat milk creates this naturally sweet drink that’s become my go-to afternoon pick-me-up. Trust me, once you try this homemade café-style drink, you’ll never want to pay $7 for one again!

Ingredients

For the blueberry syrup:

• 1 1/4 cups frozen wild blueberries
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

For the assembly:

• 7 fl oz full fat oat milk
• 2 shots espresso
• 1 1/2 handfuls ice

Step 1: Make Blueberry Syrup

• 1 1/4 cups frozen wild blueberries
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp water

Combine frozen blueberries, brown sugar, and water in a small pot and heat over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and release their juice.

The mixture will become dark and syrupy as the sugar dissolves and the berries soften.

Once the berries are completely broken down, remove from heat and let cool slightly, then mash the berries against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon to release any remaining juice.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the syrup while leaving the pulp behind.

Step 2: Build and Serve the Latte

• 2 tablespoons blueberry syrup from Step 1
• 1 1/2 handfuls ice
• 7 fl oz full fat oat milk
• 2 shots espresso
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Fill a tall glass with ice, then add 2 tablespoons of the blueberry syrup from Step 1, stirring briefly to coat the ice.

Pour in the full fat oat milk, then top with 2 shots of espresso.

I like to pour the espresso last so it creates a beautiful color gradient as it swirls into the milk and syrup.

Stir well to combine all the flavors, add the vanilla extract and salt for depth, and serve immediately with a spoon or wide straw for sipping.
