Description
A delightful twist on the classic latte, combining rich espresso, sweet cherry syrup, and smooth vanilla for a fun and flavorful coffee treat.
Ingredients
2 cups milk
½ cup brewed espresso
2 tablespoons cherry syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)
Maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Brew the Espresso: Brew your espresso and pour it into a mug.
- Add Cherry Syrup: Stir the cherry syrup into the hot espresso until well combined.
- Steam the Milk: Steam the milk and vanilla extract together until warm and frothy. You can use a steam wand if you have one, or heat the milk on the stovetop and froth it with a hand frother.
- Pour and Mix: Pour the steamed milk over the espresso and cherry syrup mixture, gently stirring to combine.
- Top and Serve: Top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for the perfect finishing touch.
Notes
Strength of Cherry Flavor: Adjust the amount of cherry syrup based on your preference. Add more for a stronger cherry taste, or less for a more subtle flavor.
Vanilla Bean Paste: For a richer vanilla flavor, swap vanilla extract for vanilla bean paste.
Iced Version: To make this an iced drink, let the espresso and syrup cool, add ice to your glass, and then pour the milk over the ice. Skip the steamed milk and use cold milk instead.
