This Iced Blueberry Latte is pure perfection! A homemade blueberry syrup, double shots of espresso and milk is poured over ice and topped with a sweetened blueberry cold foam. The syrup yields about 1¾ cup however the recipe for the iced blueberry latte is for 2 – both recipes are listed separately at the bottom of this post.
I crave an iced latte during the hot summer months.
Sometimes I’ll have an iced caramel vanilla latte, other times its an iced matcha, and most recently I’ve been craving this blueberry version. It’s a simple as making a quick and easy blueberry syrup and pouring it over ice with a double shout of espresso and milk. Lastly, I like to top it off with a thick and creamy blueberry cold foam which sends this icy beverage over the top.
To. Die. For.
