Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (for homemade syrup)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for homemade syrup)
  • 1/4 cup water (for homemade syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or double shot espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Ice (enough to fill a tall glass)
  • Optional: Lemon zest, whipped cream, fresh blueberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew a double shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong coffee. Let it cool, or use cold brew.
  2. To make blueberry syrup: Simmer 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan until thick and juicy (about 10 minutes). Let cool.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons blueberry syrup around the inside of the glass over the ice.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Optionally, add a little lemon zest.
  6. Slowly pour the cooled espresso or coffee into the glass.
  7. Top with 1/2 to 3/4 cup cold milk, pouring slowly for layered effect.
  8. Gently swirl the blueberry and lemon through the milk and coffee with a straw or spoon. Do not overmix.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream, extra blueberries, or lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Let coffee cool before assembling to prevent ice from melting too quickly. Homemade blueberry syrup tastes best, but store-bought or thinned jam works in a pinch. Adjust lemon and syrup to taste. Use plant-based milk for vegan or dairy-free version. For batch prep, make syrup and coffee ahead and assemble just before serving.
