Description
The Cherry Vanilla Iced Latte is a refreshing twist on the classic iced coffee, blending rich coffee with sweet cherry syrup and vanilla. A perfect treat for hot days or when you’re craving something different.
Ingredients
1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
½ cup milk of your choice (whole, almond, or oat milk)
2 tablespoons cherry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cubes
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Fresh cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Allow it to cool to room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator if you’re in a rush.
- Prepare Glass: Take a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes, ensuring that it is packed well.
- Mix Ingredients: In a separate container, combine the cooled coffee, cherry syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Pour Over Ice: Pour the coffee mixture over the ice-filled glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour the milk of your choice into the glass, allowing it to mix with the coffee.
- Top with Whipped Cream: If desired, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top for extra creaminess.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cherries for added visual appeal and flavor.
- Serve: Insert a straw and enjoy your refreshing Cherry Vanilla Iced Latte immediately!
Notes
For a sweeter drink, add honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup to taste.
For a dairy-free option, use almond, oat, or coconut milk.
If you prefer a smoother flavor, use cold brew coffee instead of brewed coffee.
Frozen cherries make a great garnish while helping to keep the drink cool.
