Why This is Delish

This latte hits that perfect sweet spot between a coffee drink and something extra. The blueberry maple syrup is the real star โ€” jammy, bright, and just sweet enough โ€” and it works so well with bold espresso and cold milk. It’s something you’d pay $9 for at a trendy cafรฉ, but you can make it at home! Plus, that syrup is incredibly versatile, so you’ll want to keep a jar of it in your fridge all week.

How to Make an Iced Blueberry Pancake Maple Latte

1. Make the Blueberry Maple Syrup

Add the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan.

Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5โ€“7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens into a syrup.

For a smoother syrup, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the skins, pressing gently to extract the juices. Let cool completely.

2. Brew the Espresso

Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or coffee maker. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Latte

Add the blueberry maple syrup to the bottom of a glass. Fill the glass with ice, then pour in the milk. Slowly pour the espresso over the top.

4. Serve

Stir well to combine and enjoy immediately.

Variations That Spice an Iced Blueberry Pancake Maple Latte Up

  • Swap the milk for oat milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free, slightly sweeter version.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract to the syrup for a more dessert-like flavor.
  • Use cold brew concentrate instead of espresso for a smoother, less acidic coffee base.

Substitutions For Your Dietary Needs

  • Use a dairy-free milk like oat, almond, or coconut milk to make this fully dairy-free.
  • Swap maple syrup for agave or honey if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Use decaf espresso if you’re sensitive to caffeine but still want that coffee flavor.

Recipe Hacks & Tips

  • Make a double or triple batch of the blueberry maple syrup and store it in a jar in the fridge for up to 1 week
  • Let the espresso cool slightly before pouring to keep the ice from melting too fast
  • Pour the espresso slowly over the back of a spoon for a gorgeous layered look
  • The syrup is also incredible drizzled over pancakes, yogurt, or oatmeal

How to Store Leftovers

The blueberry maple syrup stores great in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. The assembled latte is best enjoyed immediately, as the ice will dilute it over time. If you want to prep ahead, just keep the syrup and espresso shots ready to go and assemble when you’re ready to drink.

Common Questions

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Absolutely. Fresh blueberries work just as wellโ€”frozen just tend to break down a little faster, which speeds up the syrup process. Either way, you’ll get a gorgeous, jammy syrup.

Can I make the syrup ahead of time?

Yes โ€” this is actually the best way to do it. Make a big batch and store it in the fridge for up to a week. It takes the latte from a 15-minute recipe to a 5-minute one on busy mornings.

What if I don’t have an espresso machine?

No problem. Use a strong brewed coffee, a Moka pot, or even instant espresso powder dissolved in a small amount of hot water. The blueberry maple syrup is bold enough to stand up to any method.

Can I make this hot instead of iced?

Yes! Just steam or heat your milk and pour the espresso and syrup into a warm mug. It’s just as delicious as a cozy hot latte.
