Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cherries, pitted (I use frozen)
- ½ cup sugar or monk fruit
- ½ cup water
- 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
- 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!
