    Why This Recipe is Great

    You may be wondering what is a strawberry latte and if the flavor combination even works. Simply put this latte is made using pre-made or homemade strawberry syrup and it makes for a delicious fruity drink with a unique flavor. Even cafes are jumping onto this trend. Try the Starbucks strawberry latte on their secret menu next time you visit.

    • Unique Flavor – Recipes like the Starbucks Pink Drink have inspired new flavors in lattes and other drinks, making this one the latest craze. This strawberry-flavored latte has a subtly sweet taste that pairs perfectly with espresso or coffee and is definitely unique.
    • Easy to make – There are only simple ingredients in this recipe. making it easy to prepare at home. Plus there’s no special equipment needed.
    • Great for brunch – Similar to Italian Soda, the uniqueness of this drink makes it great for brunch, baby or bridal showers, or even a book club.

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredients in a strawberry latte.
    • Strawberries – For this recipe, I prefer to use fresh strawberries, but you can also use frozen ones. I also like to have some freeze-dried strawberries for garnish, but this is optional.
    • Sugar – You will need regular granulated sugar for making the strawberry syrup, however, you can also use honey or maple syrup as a sweetener.
    • Espresso or Coffee – Since this beverage is iced you will need to let your espresso or coffee come to room temperature before adding the ice. You can also use cold-brew coffee.
    • Milk – Choose your favorite milk for lattes. I love the rich creamy taste of whole milk but dairy-free options such as almond milk or oat milk will also taste delicious.

    How to Make a Strawberry Latte

    To make this recipe go even faster you can easily prepare your own Strawberry Syrup or use a store-bought version. If using a pre-made syrup you can skip to step 3.

    Prepare the Syrup

    Process steps 1 and 2 for how to make a strawberry latte.
    1. Heat the ingredients. Place the chopped strawberries, sugar, and water into a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes.
    2. Strain. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, without pressing it down, and discard the sediment. Allow the syrup to cool completely before preparing the latte.

    Make the latte

    Iced strawberry latte process steps 3 and 4.
    1. Add the espresso and syrup. Pour the espresso or chilled coffee into the bottom of a tall glass and top it with Strawberry Syrup. Fill the glass with ice.
    2. Froth the milk. Using a milk frother or a wire whisk froth the milk and pour over the ice. Spoon the frothy top of the milk onto the latte and garnish with a fresh strawberry.

    Recipe Variations

    • Serve it hot. This drink also makes a delicious hot strawberry latte so you can enjoy it in the colder months too.
    • Use pre-made strawberry syrup. Brands such as Torani have every pre-made syrup flavor imaginable and their strawberry syrup works perfectly for this drink. Another option is to try Hershey’s strawberry syrup, which can be found next to the ice cream toppings at your grocery store.
    • Make it dairy-free. Use your favorite version of milk whether that’s cream, whole milk, or any dairy-free options. All of them taste great with this latte.
    • Use cold brew coffee. Since this is an iced latte you can also use cold-brew coffee to prepare it.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • Turn it into a dessert. I highly recommend topping off your iced strawberry latte with some whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and strawberries for a delicious treat. Alternatively, you can turn it into a float by adding a scoop of ice cream.
    • Add some fresh strawberries. Slice or chop up some fresh strawberries and add them to your glass for more flavor and a beautiful presentation.
    • Froth your milk using a milk frother. This is entirely optional but will give the milk a nice foamy topping that can be spooned on top of your drink. Either a handheld frother or an electric one will work.
    • Store leftover strawberry syrup in an air-tight container or jar with a lid in the fridge. It will last up to 2 weeks.

    FAQS

    Does a strawberry latte have caffeine?

    Yes, it does, however, it can be made decaffeinated if you use decaf cold brew or chilled coffee instead.

    Can this be made hot?

    Yes, you can make a hot version of this latte. To do so you’ll need to steam the milk and allow the strawberry syrup to come to room temperature.
