Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 Cup blueberries (Frozen or fresh. Best if you use slightly over-ripe berries that are soft and squishy!)
- 2 Tablespoons White Sugar, or to taste (depending on sweetness of your blueberries)
- 2 Tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, optional
- ½ Tablespoon Ceremonial matcha powder (Substitute: culinary matcha powder)
- 2-3 Cups Whole milk (Vegan option: plant-based milk such as almond, oat, soy etc)
- 1 Cup Ice cubes (Optional, for iced blueberry matcha latte)
Instructions
- 1
Cook the blueberries, sugar and water in a pot over medium-low heat.
- 2
Mash the berries with a potato masher or fork, till you get a compote.Simmer for 5-10 minutes on low heat till you get a thick syrup. (If you want a smooth syrup, you may need to strain out the pulp, which you can keep to use in bakes! Don't toss the pulp- see Notes for ideas on what to do with it.)
- 3
Right before the blueberries are done or whilst they are cooling, use a matcha whisk to whisk the matcha powder into the milk of your choice. If using a bowl, don't fill it to the top to prevent spills (or use a deep container.) (You don't want to do this too early, as the matcha will separate if it sits for too long. If there are clumps in your matcha powder, use the whisk to break them up before pouring the liquid over it.)

Add the thick blueberry mixture to the bottom of the glass. Use heat-proof cups if your blueberries are still hot!

Pour the matcha milk over the blueberries. Serve and enjoy with some matcha buns on the side!5a. Iced blueberry matcha latte: For a fun twist, swirl some blueberry syrup, edible flowers and matcha into your ice cube container then freeze them.5b. Hot blueberry matcha latte: heat up the milk before pouring it over the blueberries. (You may want to add more blueberry syrup as hot matcha is a tad more bitter.) Make sure the glass is heat proof!
