Ingredients

  • 6 ounces milk (or milk mixed with creamer)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup or red velvet syrup
  • 2 ounces espresso
  • 1 cup ice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: For an iced strawberry latte, fill your glass with 1 cup of ice.
  2. Step 2: Pour approximately 6 ounces of the strawberry milk mixture—milk combined with 2 tablespoons of strawberry syrup—over the ice.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 ounces of cold brew coffee or a double shot of espresso on top.
  4. Step 4: Froth additional milk and add it on top if you like. Stir gently with a glass straw before enjoying.
  5. Step 5: For a hot strawberry latte, pour about 6 ounces of the strawberry milk mixture into a coffee mug.
  6. Step 6: Brew strong coffee or use an espresso machine to make a double shot (2–3 ounces) and pour it directly over the strawberry milk.
  7. Step 7: Optionally, top with fresh whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips & Variations

  • Use whole milk or a creamy alternative like oat milk for a richer texture.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
  • Try adding a dash of vanilla extract for a subtle flavor depth.
  • Substitute the espresso with strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.

Storage

If you prepare strawberry milk in advance, store it covered in the refrigerator and use within 2 days for best freshness. The latte is best enjoyed immediately after brewing to preserve the flavor and texture. Reheating hot strawberry latte gently on the stove or in a microwave is possible, but iced versions should be consumed cold right away.

How to Serve

On the right is a clear glass shaped like a can filled with iced milk tea, showing three layers from bottom to top: a solid light pink base, a creamy beige middle mixed with ice cubes, and a darker brown top, also decorated with a bright red strawberry on the rim. In the lower left corner, a white bowl filled with pink yogurt and strawberries is partially visible. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
