Ingredients

Strawberries. You'll need fresh strawberries and water if you are making homemade strawberry syrup. If not, fresh strawberries are a must as a fun garnish or mix-in. 

Water + Sugar. If you are not making strawberry simple syrup, you won't need water or sugar! 

Espresso. You'll want 3 ounces of strong espresso coffee, but if you don't have an espresso machine, you can make this strawberry latte with 3 ounces of strong brewed coffee, too! 

Milk, of choice. You can use your favorite choice of milk. I prefer using 2% organic milk, but coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk are all great options. You'll want to use creamy milk, so I would recommend avoiding almond milk as it's a bit thinner than other milk options. 

Creamer, of choice. To add a little bit of additional flavor, I like adding 2 tablespoon of sweet cream coffee creamer. 

Homemade Strawberry Syrup

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 ½ cups of strawberries (washed, hulled, and sliced). You can always use maple syrup or honey as a sugar substitute. 
2. Over medium heat, stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to low. Allow simmering for 15-20 minutes.
3. Strain the strawberries out of the syrup and store it in an airtight container, like a mason jar. Allow your strawberry syrup to chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before making this iced strawberry latte recipe.

How to Make a Strawberry Latte

1. In a glass filled with ice, add in 2 tablespoon of strawberry syrup.
2. Top with 3 oz. of espresso. Stir.
3. Add in your milk, give it a stir and enjoy!
