Homemade blueberry iced latte

Reader, I don't know if we are having the last summer waves up here, but cooling with coffee is a joy (what ever the weather).

Last month I shared with you the homemade iced mint latte and we continue with the road of iced lattes today with yummy blueberry flavors!

I started first making iced lattes form scratch to avoid the random colorants, additives and all that unnecessary stuff that you can find from shop-bought syrups or iced coffees (plus a TON of sugar) when you make it at home, you can use more natural ingredients and the amount of syrup that you feel is right (don't go overboard, test and add more!🤭).

Here is what you need for a simple blueberry iced latte:

• 🫐 Ice cubes
• 🫐 250 ml milk of your choice
• 🫐 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 🫐 1 shot of espresso
• 🫐 1 tsp cardamom (optional)
• 🫐 2-4 tsp blueberry simple syrup (that you can easily make from scratch too)

Brew the espresso.

Pour 3/4 of the blueberry syrup into the sides of a tall glass. Save a bit to drizzle on the top.

Add plenty of ice cubes.

Then pour slowly the milk on top, so as not to mix with the syrup too much.

Pour the espresso on the top with swirling moves.

Add more ice cubes if needed to fill the glass well, and finish the drink with a drizzle of the blueberry syrup on the top of the ice cubes.

If you want to garnish your iced latte, you can take a cocktail pick and slide some blueberries in a row to add a simple yet beautiful cherry (you know I mean blueberry 🫐) on the top.

If you are into other 🫐 blueberry things, check out these recipes:

• ​Blueberry hibiscus iced tea (use the same blueberry syrup in this one too!)
• ​Delicious blueberry pie​
• ​Whipped porridge snack with blueberries instead of lingonberries (Check the notes of the recipe card how to do the swap!)

Every day makes a difference. ♡
