Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 shots of espresso (or ½ cup strongly brewed coffee)
  • 1 cup milk (or milk alternative) such as whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk
  • 2–3 tablespoons blueberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra warmth
  • Whipped cream (dairy or non-dairy) for topping
  • Crushed waffle pieces or mini waffles for garnish
  • Fresh blueberries for garnish

Let’s Get Brewing

  1. Brew Your Espresso/Strong Coffee

    • If you have an espresso machine, pull two shots of espresso.
    • Alternatively, use a French press or drip coffee maker to brew a strong ½ cup of coffee.
    • Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Warm & Froth Your Milk

    • In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat your milk until it’s hot but not boiling.
    • If you’re using a hand frother or espresso machine’s steam wand, froth to create a nice layer of microfoam. (This helps with that luxurious, creamy texture.)
  3. Combine the Flavors

    • In your mug, mix the blueberry syrup, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using).
    • Slowly pour in the hot espresso (or coffee), stirring gently to dissolve the syrups and evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Add the Steamed Milk

    • Carefully pour or spoon in your steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon if you like to spoon it on top at the end for a nice latte “cap.”
    • Stir gently to blend everything into a dreamy, velvety consistency.
  5. Dress It Up

    • Top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
    • Sprinkle crushed waffle pieces or place mini waffles on top for a playful garnish.
    • Toss a few fresh blueberries on top for color and a burst of real berry flavor.

Tips for Homemade Blueberry Syrup

  • Ingredients: 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, ⅓ cup sugar (or sweetener of choice), ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  • Directions: Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mash the berries slightly to release juices. Strain if you prefer a smoother syrup, or leave it chunky for extra texture. Let cool slightly before using.

Variations & Serving Suggestions

  • Iced Blueberry Waffle Latte: Pour the espresso and syrups over ice, then top with cold milk (or a splash of half-and-half) for a refreshing treat on warm days.
  • Vegan Option: Use a plant-based milk (oat milk is especially creamy) and dairy-free whipped topping.
  • Extra-Berry Twist: Stir in a spoonful of blueberry jam for a thicker, more pronounced berry flavor.
  • Breakfast in a Mug: Crumble a piece of waffle or biscuit right into the latte for a fun texture—like having coffee and waffles in one go.
