Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 shot espresso or 1 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Milk frother or small saucepan
  • Blender
  • Serving glass or mug
  • Spoon for stirring

Method
 

  1. Blend 1 cup fresh blueberries until smooth to form the purée.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the purée, if desired.
  3. Prepare 1 shot of espresso or brew 1 cup of strong coffee using an espresso machine or coffee maker.
  4. Heat 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan or with a frother to about 65°C (150°F) and froth until creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
  5. Pour the blueberry purée into a serving glass, then add the espresso or brewed coffee.
  6. Gently pour the steamed milk over the coffee and purée mixture to maintain layers and create a marbled effect.
  7. Stir gently to combine the blueberry purée, espresso, and milk into a smooth latte.
  8. Garnish with fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of cinnamon, then serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately; store blueberry purée separately in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat components separately.
