Ingredients
Strawberry Simple Syrup
- 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Strawberries quartered
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste or extract
- Pinch of Kosher Salt
Strawberry Latte
- 1-2 tablespoons Strawberry Syrup to preference
- Ice Cubes
- ½ cup Oat Milk
- Double Shot of Espresso
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and quarter the strawberries. You will need about 2 cups.
- Combine the organic cane sugar, water, quartered strawberries, and vanilla to a saucepan and stir together.
- Bring the mixture to a slight boil then immediately reduce to a simmer over medium for 8-10 minutes.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or measuring cup, and carefully pour the syrup through it. Avoid using a spoon to press or mash the strawberries; instead, allow the syrup to naturally strain through the mesh to maintain clarity and prevent cloudiness.
- Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
- Add 1 tablespoon strawberry simple syrup to the bottom of a tall glass.
- Fill with ice and pour in the oat milk.
- Brew a double shot of espresso and pour over the oat milk. Stir and taste to adjust sweetness and flavor.
- If making a hot strawberry latte, froth and steam the milk and omit the ice.
Notes
This simple syrup recipe makes about 1 ½ cups.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before using it for iced drinks. It can be immediately added to a hot drink but allowing it to cool before adding it over ice will prevent it from crystallizing.
Allow the strawberry simple syrup to cool completely then store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
