Being your own barista is easier than you think.

With this DIY blueberry latte you can create a café-style drink at home that is creamy, flavourful, and elevated with Hedessent Flavour Drops.

There is something about a blueberry latte that makes it feel like more than just your average coffee. This version blends smooth espresso, frothy milk, and a rich homemade blueberry syrup for a drink that looks as good as it tastes. Whether you call it a DIY blueberry latte or a homemade blueberry latte, the idea is the same: it is an easy blueberry latte recipe that feels indulgent without being complicated.

The secret to making it work is the syrup. A simple homemade blueberry syrup made with fresh or frozen blueberries is delicious on its own, but when paired with Hedessent Flavour Drops, it becomes unforgettable. Juicy Blueberry intensifies the fruit so you get that ripe berry flavour and colour no matter the season, while Vanilla Waffle adds a warm sweetness that rounds out the mouthfeel. The result is a latte that tastes consistently rich, vibrant, and café-worthy.

Once the syrup is ready, the rest is simple. Pull a shot of espresso, steam some milk, and layer it all together with a spoonful of syrup. In just a few minutes, you can enjoy a DIY blueberry latte that feels like a small luxury in the middle of your day.
