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 using it for your drinks.
- Fill your favorite glass with ice, then pour in your desired amount of cherry syrup.
- Next, froth together the milk and creamer using a milk frother. You can skip this step if you don't have one!
- Pour in the frothed milk and creamer then top with cold brew or chilled espresso.
- Mix together and watch the beautiful pink color take form. Enjoy!
How long will the simple syrup last and do i refrigerate it? Thank you

This is the best homemade latte ever made, and the most beautiful! Love the pink color! Who could imagine cherry and coffee going so well together!
Right?! So glad you love this as much as I do 🙂
This looks so good! What a great combination of flavors!

Wow! This is soooo delicious. Who knew cherry and coffee would go together but the vanilla brings it together beautifully. This is my new every day latte!
I’m so happy you love it as much as I do! 🙂
Fun fact I don’t drink cold brew but this looked to good not to try. I’m hooked it’s so delicious!!! Will definitely made more.
Ah I’m so happy to hear this! Glad you love it as much as I do 🙂
My cherry syrup came out way too thin using frozen cherries. Did you let them thaw and drain the liquid before heating with the water and sugar?
I do not! You can bring the syrup to a light simmer next time to help it thicken a little, but it shouldn’t be super thick to begin with 🙂
Delicious, so glad I came across this recipe, thank you!
So thrilled! Thanks, Jen 🙂
