Cherry Vanilla Iced Latte
Ingredients
Cherry Simple Syrup
- 2 cups cherries, pitted (I use frozen)
- ½ cup sugar or monk fruit
- ½ cup water
Cherry Vanilla Iced Latte
- ½ cup cold brew (or 2 shots chilled espresso)
- ½ cup vanilla almond milk (I use Califia Farms)
- 2 tbsp vanilla almond creamer (I use Califia Farms)
- 2-3 tbsp homemade cherry simple syrup (more or less to taste depending on sweetness preference)
Instructions
Cherry Simple Syrup
- 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.
Cherry Vanilla Iced Latte
- 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!
Notes
This drink can also be enjoyed hot, just forgo ice and use freshly brewed espresso!
