Ingredients
Strawberry Syrup:
- 1 heaping cup diced or quartered strawberries
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon almond extract, plus more to taste
Coffee:
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the strawberry almond syrup: Place a small pot over medium heat. Add in the diced strawberries and maple syrup. Mash the strawberries with a fork and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and the strawberries release their juices, resembling a jelly consistency.
- Strain the syrup: Place a small sieve over a bowl and pour the strawberry mixture through it. Use the back of a spoon to press and stir, extracting as much syrup as possible into the bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract into the syrup. This should yield about 4 to 5 tablespoons of strawberry almond syrup. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Prepare the latte: Pour 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso, 3 tablespoons of the strawberry almond syrup, and 1 ½ cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk into a mason jar. Cover with a lid and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to combine well.
- Serve: Pour the shaken mixture over ice in a glass. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries, if desired. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- The strawberry almond syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Use freshly brewed espresso shots for best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to taste for desired sweetness and berry flavor intensity.
- For a non-dairy option, use almond milk or any plant-based milk of your choice.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add extra texture and flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
