Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Base

  • 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso (about 2 ounces total) or 1/2 to 3/4 cup of very strong brewed coffee

Syrups

  • 1.5 to 2 tablespoons cherry syrup (made with real fruit juice or homemade with pitted fresh or frozen cherries, sugar, and water)
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoons vanilla syrup or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (as a substitute)

Milk Options

  • Whole milk (for creamy texture)
  • Oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk (as milk alternatives)

Additional Ingredients

  • Ice (for iced latte)
  • Whipped cream (optional garnish)
  • Extra cherry syrup (optional garnish)
  • Fresh cherries (optional garnish)
  • Vanilla bean flecks (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Espresso or Coffee: Prepare your coffee base by pulling two fresh shots of espresso using an espresso machine, or alternatively, brew 1/2 to 3/4 cup of very strong coffee if you don’t have an espresso maker.
  2. Add Syrups to Glass: Pour 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of cherry syrup and 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of vanilla syrup into your serving glass to build the sweet, fruity foundation of the latte.
  3. Prepare Ice if Making Iced Latte: For an iced variation, fill the glass generously with ice cubes to chill the drink perfectly.
  4. Add Milk: Pour your chosen milk over the syrups and ice. Use cold milk if making iced, or steam and froth the milk before pouring for a hot latte experience.
  5. Pour Coffee Over Milk: Slowly pour your freshly brewed hot espresso or strong coffee over the milk layer to keep the beautiful layering and mixing of flavors.
  6. Stir to Combine: Use a long spoon to gently stir the latte, blending the cherry and vanilla syrups with the coffee and milk evenly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish your latte with optional whipped cream, a drizzle of extra cherry syrup, fresh cherries, or vanilla bean flecks for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cherry and vanilla syrup to taste for desired sweetness.
  • Use any milk alternative to make the latte dairy-free or vegan.
  • For a richer flavor, steaming the milk is recommended when serving hot.
  • Homemade cherry syrup can be prepared by simmering pitted cherries with sugar and water until thickened.
  • The recipe is flexible for iced or hot latte variations.
