- Now that we have everything ready, let’s get our hands busy. Below are the detailed steps to create your own Dunkin’ Blueberry Iced Coffee.
Step 1: Prepare Your Cold-Brew Coffee
- First things first, if you haven’t already, brew your coffee. The beauty of cold brew is that it’s smooth, less acidic, and perfect for iced drinks. Make a batch ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week. You want it chilled for the best experience.
Step 2: Create Your Blueberry Syrup
- Combine the fresh blueberries, filtered water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat this mixture over medium heat. Stir it until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries break down—about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s syrupy, remove it from the heat and let it cool. For extra zest, you can avoid straining it and leave the blueberry pieces in.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large glass or tumbler, pour in your cold-brew coffee. Add the blueberry syrup and stir well. This is where things start to get exciting. The coffee’s color transforms into a beautiful shade.
Step 4: Add the Almond Breeze
- Pour in the Almond Breeze® Almond & Oat Blend next. It brings creaminess to the party without overpowering the flavors. Stir again to ensure everything is well mixed.
Step 5: Sprinkle with Cinnamon and Vanilla
- Next, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top. These ingredients enhance the taste, adding depth. Give it one final stir.
Step 6: Serve Over Ice
- Finally, load your tall glass with ice cubes. Pour your concoction over the ice, and voilà! You have yourself a refreshing Dunkin’ Blueberry Iced Coffee. Maybe even throw in a few whole blueberries for garnish—who doesn’t love a fancy touch?

Notes
Now, let’s talk about how you can elevate your coffee game even further. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Always opt for the freshest blueberries. They make all the difference in flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Start with less sugar. You can always add more but can’t take it back. Find your perfect balance.
- Don’t Skip the Cold Brew: Regular brewed coffee can work, but cold brew provides a smoother finish.
- Try Alternative Milks: Experimenting with other plant-based milks like oat or cashew can give you different taste profiles.
- Chill Your Glass: Pre-chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes. This keeps your drink colder for longer!
