Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.

Ingredients
Method
- Combine cherries, water and sugar or monk fruit in a pot on the stove over medium heat.
- Bring to a slight simmer and keep an eye on the mixture, mixing lightly and pressing down on the cherries as the sugar dissolves.
- Once the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened, your simple syrup is done!
- Strain the syrup into a resealable glass container leaving out the cherries and let cool before mixing in the vanilla.
- Add syrup to a cup with ice, followed by the creamer and almond milk. Top with the cold brew concentrate and mix together. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you’d like to make a cold foam on top, simply froth together your coffee creamer with a bit of the cherry vanilla syrup. Once thickened, pour it on top of your drink.
- If you’re making this drink with espresso, add the syrup to a cup and brew your favorite espresso to your liking over top. I always allow it to chill/cool down by brewing the espresso over metal ice cubes or by using my hyperchiller so that the espresso doesn’t become bitter as it cools. Then, in a cup with ice, pour in the creamer followed by either frothed or not frothed milk. Then, pour over the espresso with the syrup.
