How do you make a blueberry latte?

To make a blueberry iced latte , start by preparing a simple syrup using fresh or frozen blueberries, water, and sugar. Simmer the mixture until the berries burst and the syrup thickens slightly. Strain and cool it. Then, brew two shots of espresso or strong coffee, pour it over ice, add the blueberry syrup, and top it with your favorite milk. Stir and enjoy. You can also make a hot version by steaming the milk and skipping the ice, but the iced version is a summer favorite. If you love drinks with layered flavors, you might also enjoy my lavender latte recipe or this white chocolate raspberry creamer for other fruity coffee twists.

What does a blueberry latte taste like?

A blueberry iced latte tastes smooth, lightly sweet, and refreshingly fruity. The blueberry syrup adds a tangy-sweet note that brightens the bold espresso without overpowering it. The milk brings everything together, making the drink taste creamy and balanced. It’s not as sugary as many store-bought flavored lattes, which makes it a great choice for anyone who enjoys real, natural flavors with just a touch of indulgence. This balance of flavors is why it pairs so well with light summer bites like microgreens salad or lemony pastries.

Does blueberry latte have coffee?

Yes, a blueberry iced latte contains coffee. It’s made using either espresso or strong brewed coffee, just like a traditional iced latte. The coffee forms the base of the drink, while the blueberry syrup adds flavor and sweetness. You can also use decaf espresso if you're looking for a caffeine-free option, or swap in cold brew for a smoother, less acidic finish. For those trying to cut back on caffeine but still craving something special, this recipe works beautifully with decaf—just like I do when prepping my banana bread latte in the afternoon.

Is blueberry syrup good in coffee?

Absolutely. Blueberry syrup adds a burst of natural sweetness and a mild tang that works surprisingly well with the earthy, roasted flavor of coffee. When used in moderation, it doesn’t overpower the drink—it enhances it. Many people are surprised by how well fruit and coffee go together, but if you’ve ever enjoyed a flavored cold brew or fruity creamer, you’ll understand why this combo works. For more fruity drink inspiration, try my blackberry sage lemonade refresher —it follows a similar flavor balance, just without the espresso.
