Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- 2 shots (about 1/2 cup) espresso
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and water. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the berries burst and thicken into a compote. Stir in vanilla and let it cool.
- Prepare your espresso and let it cool slightly.
- In a tall glass, add 2–3 tablespoons of the blueberry compote.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Slowly pour milk over the back of a spoon to create a separated layer above the compote.
- Gently pour the espresso on top to form the final layer.
- Optional: Garnish with blueberries or a mint sprig. Serve immediately and stir before drinking if desired.
Notes
- Chill your glass ahead of time to keep the drink colder longer.
- You can use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
- Oat milk adds a creamy, naturally sweet touch for a vegan version.
- Make extra compote to use in yogurt bowls or over pancakes.
