  If your blog is public, that option doesn’t exist.
  Set your blog private, if you want.

  See here, it’s impossible:

  If you have a WordPress.com account, when you are logged in, click the button that appears in the toolbar at the top of all WordPress.com sites. All new posts published on that blog will now show up in your reader. You will also receive email notifications of new posts. You can change your settings to Immediate, Daily, or Weekly delivery, or opt-out of email notifications

  Again, if you want to control who follow your blog, set it private.
