Latte Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 shot (1 oz) espresso or strong coffee
- 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- Sweetener to taste (sugar or honey)
- Brew Espresso: Prepare one shot of espresso or a strong coffee using your preferred method to serve as the base of your latte.
- Blend Cherry Mixture: In a blender, combine the pitted fresh cherries along with the pure vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Heat Milk: Pour the milk or your chosen milk alternative into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it is steaming hot but not boiling, ready to be poured into the latte.
- Assemble Latte: In your favorite mug, pour the freshly brewed espresso first. Follow by adding the cherry and vanilla blend directly on top of the espresso.
- Add Steamed Milk: Gently pour the steamed milk over the cherry-espresso mixture, creating a creamy layer.
- Sweeten and Serve: Add sweetener such as sugar or honey to your preference. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly. Optionally, garnish with extra cherries or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant touch.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your desired sweetness level.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a double shot of espresso.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry on top for a cafe-style presentation.
