There’s iced coffee, and then there’s a blueberry iced latte. Sweet, fruity, and perfectly creamy, this drink is the summer upgrade your coffee routine didn’t know it needed.

The secret? A good quality blueberry syrup. Not the artificial kind that tastes like sweets — but a properly crafted syrup that lets the fruit flavour shine.

Today, we’ll show you how to make a café-quality blueberry iced latte at home in under five minutes.

Ingredients

You’ll need just five ingredients for this drink.

50ml espresso (or 100ml strong brewed coffee)
250ml milk (dairy or oat/almond works beautifully)
20ml Simply Blueberry Syrup
Ice cubes (preferably large cubes that melt slowly)
Fresh or frozen blueberries (optional, for garnish)

The blueberry syrup is the star here. It adds a natural, sweet blueberry flavour without being overpowering. One litre will make around 50 lattes — so you’re sorted for the whole summer.

Equipment

Glass (tall, around 350–400ml)
Espresso machine or cafetière
Spoon for layering
Straw (optional, but fun)

Method

Follow these five simple steps.

Step 1: Brew your coffee

Pull a fresh shot of espresso (about 50ml). If you don’t have an espresso machine, brew a strong coffee using a cafetière, Aeropress, or moka pot. Use about 100ml of strong coffee as your substitute.

Let the coffee cool for a minute while you prepare the rest.

Step 2: Add blueberry syrup to the glass

Pour 20ml of Blueberry Syrup into the bottom of your glass. This is your flavour base. Adjust the amount depending on how sweet you like your drink — 15ml for less sweet, 25ml for a stronger fruit punch.

Step 3: Fill the glass with ice

Add ice cubes until the glass is about three-quarters full. Large cubes are better than small crushed ice — they melt slower and won’t water down your latte.

Step 4: Pour in the milk

Pour your chosen milk over the ice until the glass is about two-thirds full. The milk will swirl with the blueberry syrup at the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient.

Step 5: Add the coffee and stir

Slowly pour the espresso or strong coffee over the top. Watch as it layers above the milk — this is the satisfying part. Give it a gentle stir to combine everything, or leave it layered for that café-style presentation.

Garnish with a few fresh or frozen blueberries on top if you’re feeling fancy.

Pro tips for the perfect blueberry iced latte

Use chilled milk. Cold milk straight from the fridge keeps your drink colder for longer and prevents the ice from melting too fast.

Don’t skip the syrup measurement. 20ml is the sweet spot — literally. Too little and you lose the blueberry flavour. Too much and it becomes cloying.

Try it with oat milk. Oat milk’s natural sweetness pairs beautifully with blueberry. The combination tastes like a blueberry muffin in a glass.

Make it a frappe. Blend everything with a handful of ice for a slushy, frappe-style blueberry iced latte.

Add a blueberry cold foam. Froth 50ml of cold milk with 5ml of blueberry syrup and pour it on top of your finished latte. Next-level delicious.

Variations to try

Once you’ve mastered the classic, try these twists.

Blueberry Vanilla Latte: Add 5ml of vanilla syrup alongside the blueberry.

Blueberry Matcha Latte: Swap the coffee for matcha. The purple-green combo looks incredible.

Blueberry Lemon Iced Tea: Use cold brew tea instead of coffee and add a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Decaf Version: Use decaf espresso for an afternoon-friendly treat.
