What is a Blueberry Vanilla Cold Foam Latte?
Homemade blueberry syrup forms the foundation of this iced latte.
Fresh blueberries, brown sugar, and water simmer together to create a simple syrup infused with blueberry flavor.
Espresso comes next, closely followed by oat milk and plenty of ice.
The drink is finished with a vanilla-flavored cold foam that takes this drink to the next level.
It’s creamy, refreshing, and far from your basic cup of morning coffee.
What’s in a Blueberry Vanilla Cold Foam Latte?
A few simple ingredients bring this drink together.
Homemade Blueberry Coffee Syrup
Preparing a batch of homemade blueberry syrup is straightforward.
All that’s needed: blueberries, brown sugar, and water.
Simmer, stir, and strain, and you’ll have fresh, homemade syrup in no time!
If you prefer not to make your own, use a store-bought blueberry syrup instead.
Espresso
No espresso machine? No problem!
A similar brew can be made with an Aeropress.
Or, you can substitute cold brew concentrate in this custom coffee drink.
Strong coffee is another option!
You can easily customize this drink to match any coffee or machine you have.
Milk
I generally stick to non-dairy milks for my coffee creations, but feel free to substitute with any milk you prefer, such as oat, almond, soy, dairy, or coconut, depending on what you have available.
Whole milk creates a creamy, indulgent latte experience.
Skim milk is a lighter option that works nicely, too.
Each milk brings its own unique flavor and texture—choose what you enjoy.
Just find what you like best.
Cold Foam + Vanilla Syrup
My cold foam blends heavy cream and skim milk.
A hint of vanilla syrup adds light sweetness to the drink.
You can use vanilla extract to lighten the sugar content or add premade vanilla syrup.
Add some texture with a hand frother or shake in a mason jar, and your cold foam is ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use frozen blueberries for this recipe?
Yes! Simply decrease the water to 1/4 cup, and you’ll be good to go! Take the blueberries directly from the freezer to the pan, as you’ll be cooking them down anyway. No need to thaw!
Can you use cold brew coffee for this recipe?
Yes! Instead of espresso, use 1/4 cup cold-brew concentrate. Then proceed with the recipe as noted above.
Can you make an iced blueberry vanilla latte with regular coffee?
Yes! You can consider making a stronger cup of coffee to substitute for the espresso in this drink, since there are so many competing flavors; the regular-brewed coffee taste might get obscured by all the others. Add 1/4 cup or more of strongly brewed coffee, then proceed with the recipe as noted above.
