Scale

½ cup sugar or monk fruit
½ cup water
½ cup cold brew (or 2 shots chilled espresso)

Instructions

Make the cherry simple syrup by combining cherries, water, and sugar or monk fruit in a pot over medium heat.
Bring to a slight simmer, mixing lightly and pressing down on the cherries as the sugar dissolves.
Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened, strain the syrup into a glass container, leaving out the cherries and let cool.
For the latte, fill a glass with ice and pour in your desired amount of cherry syrup.
Froth the milk and creamer together for a creamy texture, or skip if you don't have a frother.
Pour in the frothed mixture and top with cold brew or chilled espresso.
Mix well to enjoy the beautiful pink color.

Notes

For a sweeter latte, adjust the amount of cherry simple syrup based on your taste preference.
Using frozen cherries is a great option for convenience, and it helps keep your drink cold.
Experiment with different types of milk for varied flavors!
