½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
2 cups blueberries (fresh)

Blueberry Matcha Latte

2 oz blueberry simple syrup
¼ cup warm water (heat for 15 seconds in the microwave)
1 ½ teaspoon matcha
¾ cup oat milk
ice (enough to fill the jar or glass)

Instructions

Prepare the Blueberry simple Syrup

In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool down for 10-15 minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids. Use a spoon to mash the blueberries and thoroughly remove any excess syrup.
Transfer the strained syrup to a clean, sealed glass jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Keep the jam in a separate air-tight jar in a fridge for 2-3 days.

Notes

Make the blueberry syrup ahead: Prepare the blueberry syrup in advance to save time when assembling your drink. This allows the syrup to cool down and thicken, enhancing its flavor and making it easier to use.
Mix well before drinking: Stir the drink thoroughly before consuming it to blend the flavors evenly. This ensures a consistent taste throughout the drink and a whole experience of matcha, blueberry syrup, and other ingredients.
Use different syrup: Instead of blueberry syrup, you can experiment with different syrups to change the flavor profile of your matcha latte. For example, try blackberry syrup, strawberry syrup, or even lavender syrup for a unique twist.
Adjust syrup amount: Adjust the amount of syrup in your latte based on your sweetness preference. Begin with a small amount and add more gradually to suit your taste.
Use different milk: Experiment with various milk or milk alternatives to customize your blueberry matcha latte. Try almond or soy milk for more dairy-free options or a different flavor profile. Coconut milk might be too overpowering for this latte. You can also use regular whole milk if you are not following a vegan diet.
