Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1.5 to 2 shots (about 2-3 tablespoons) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, oat, or soy
  • ice cubes
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the fresh or frozen blueberries, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar.
    1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  2. Using a fork or a muddler, gently mash the blueberries with the sugar and vanilla until they release their juices and form a chunky syrup.
  3. Add the hot water to the muddled blueberry mixture. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a vibrant blueberry syrup. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. Brew your espresso or strong coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use very strong drip coffee or even instant espresso powder dissolved in a small amount of hot water.
