Tips & Variations

Use whole milk or a milk alternative like oat or almond milk to change the creaminess and flavor profile.

For a more intense strawberry flavor, muddle fresh strawberries into the milk before adding espresso.

Storage

Strawberry latte is best enjoyed fresh but you can store the milk mixed with strawberry syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently on the stove or in a microwave for a hot drink, stirring well before serving.
