Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed espresso (cooled)
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons cherry syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice (as needed)
- Fresh cherries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the flavor base: In a glass, combine the cherry syrup and vanilla extract to create a sweet, aromatic foundation for the latte.
- Add ice: Fill the glass with ice to chill the drink and prepare it for the espresso and milk.
- Pour espresso: Slowly pour the cooled brewed espresso over the ice to keep it well chilled and retain its rich flavor.
- Froth the milk: Froth the non-dairy milk until light and airy using a frother, or whisk vigorously if no frother is available.
- Add milk and combine: Add the frothed non-dairy milk to the glass, then gently stir to combine all flavors evenly.
- Garnish: If desired, garnish the latte with fresh cherries to enhance the presentation and add a burst of fruity flavor.

Notes
- Use strong brewed espresso for a robust coffee flavor.
- Adjust cherry syrup quantity based on sweetness preference.
- Non-dairy milk options such as almond, oat, or soy work well.
- Ensure espresso is fully cooled before pouring over ice to prevent dilution.
- Fresh cherries are optional but add appealing visual and flavor notes.
