½ cup water
½ cup strong brewed coffee (or preferred coffee substitute)
½ cup vanilla almond milk (like Califia Farms)
2 tbsp vanilla almond creamer (like Califia Farms)
2–3 tbsp homemade cherry simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Cherry Simple Syrup:
-
Combine cherries, water, and sugar (or monk fruit) in a pot over medium heat.
-
Bring to a slight simmer, stirring occasionally, pressing cherries to release their juice.
-
Once the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens, remove from heat.
-
Strain syrup into a glass container, discarding solids, and let it cool.
Cherry Vanilla Iced Latte:
-
Fill a glass with ice and add your desired amount of cherry syrup.
-
Froth vanilla almond milk and creamer. (Skip if you don’t have a milk frother.)
-
Pour the frothed milk mixture into the glass, then top with brewed coffee.
-
Stir to combine and enjoy your vibrant pink latte!
Notes
Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust cherry syrup to your taste preference.
Non-Almond Milk: Substitute with oat or coconut milk if desired.
Flavor Boost: Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Can be made without a milk frother by combining the milk and creamer without frothing.
