For the Latte

  • 1 shot (1 oz) espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative
  • Sweetener to taste (sugar or honey)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Espresso: Brew one shot of espresso or strong coffee using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or stovetop coffee maker.

  3. Steam the Milk: Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Warm it until it is steaming but not boiling, to ensure a creamy texture.
  4. Assemble the Latte: Pour the freshly brewed espresso into your favorite mug. Add the cherry-vanilla mixture on top of the espresso carefully.
  5. Add Steamed Milk: Gently pour the steamed milk over the cherry-espresso mixture to create a layered effect.
  6. Sweeten and Stir: Add sweetener such as sugar or honey to taste. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish your latte with extra fresh cherries or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Milk alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk can be used for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • For a stronger cherry flavor, reduce the milk or add more cherries when blending.
  • This latte is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the vibrant cherry taste and creamy texture.
