Notes

  • Sweetener – Maple syrup, agave nectar, or monk fruit sweetener can be used in place of honey to make the syrup. Adjust to taste.
  • Milk Options – Oat milk gives the creamiest texture while almond milk keeps it light. Feel free to try your favourite plant-based milk.
  • Strain or Not – For a silky drink, strain the blueberry syrup before adding to your latte. If you don’t mind some texture, keep it in for extra fiber.
  • Batch Prep – Brew a larger batch of rooibos and keep it chilled in the fridge for up to 3 days. Then combine it with oat milk and blueberry syrup over ice for a quick and easy iced latte.
  • Make Ahead - the blueberry syrup will last for several weeks in the fridge. Make extra for a quick drink.
