Iced Blueberry Mocha

 

This weekend I went blueberry picking! We went a little overboard and ended up with 15 pounds of them! So stay tuned for recipes that feature the bluest berries as the main ingredient this week! Here's a variation on a classic hot drink made for summer and the ripe berries that surround us- dont knock it until you try it!


Prep Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 1

1/2 to 1 cup blueberries, rinsed, picked over
1 and 1/2 tsp espresso powder/ instant coffee powder (I used an Italian instant espresso powder) (or 1 shot of your favorite espresso)
1 tsp cocoa powder (I used ghiradelli's semi sweet chocolate sauce) (or 1 tbsp of your favorite chocolate sauce)
1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup milk
1tbsp caramel/vanilla syrup (or 2 tsp cane sugar)

Give all the ingredients a whirl in a blender and serve garnished with a few blueberries and shaved chocolate
