Instructions

Make the Strawberry Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the syrup thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids, if desired. Set the syrup aside.
Prepare the Iced Latte:
Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cooled espresso or strong coffee. Add the strawberry syrup and vanilla syrup (if using), and stir well to combine.
Add the Cream:
Gently pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon into the drink to create a layered effect, or stir the cream into the latte for a more blended drink. You can also use a milk frother to froth the cream for extra texture and fun!
Garnish:
Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass, or drop a few sliced strawberries into the drink for a pretty touch.
Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, creamy, and refreshing Valentine’s treat!

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less strawberry syrup to suit your taste.
If you want a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or any plant-based milk of your choice.
If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, add more strawberry syrup and less cream for a fruit-forward drink.
