How to make copycat Blueberry Donut Iced Coffee
Start with a tall glass of strong chilled coffee or cold brew. Add a swirl of blueberry and donut-flavored syrups, pour in your milk of choice, and top it all off with sweet cold foam. The final touch is optional, but we highly recommend adding a mini donut on a skewer or blueberry garnish if you’re feeling playful.
You can adjust sweetness by reducing syrup amounts or using sugar-free alternatives. For a fancier finish, use a milk frother or handheld shaker to create foamy topping with vanilla flavor.
