The Making of a Main-Character Latte

Two Bluestone Lane-inspired recipes that you can make at home.

You know I love a ridiculously expensive wellness drink, so when my friends at Bluestone Lane asked me to dream up recipes, I leaned all the way in. The two lattes we created together are unapologetically extra, which feels very on-brand for someone who once made a $300 mac and cheese and a $2,000 pizza. Now, I’m taking that same energy to beverages with two iconic drinks that continue my tradition of doing the most.

My collab with Bluestone Lane has officially turned into a full-blown viral moment. People are literally camping out overnight to get their hands on these lattes, which feels exactly right for drinks this extra. Whether you’re more into the Blueberry Glazed Matcha or the Black Velvet Latte, this is your sign to upgrade your caffeine routine.

Here, you’ll find my at-home takes inspired by the Bluestone Lane originals—not the exact recipes, but my version of the vibe. I even rounded up all of the ingredients in my Amazon storefront so you can recreate the drinks at home, using everything from pearl powder and Manuka honey to vanilla bean paste and ceremonial-grade matcha.
