Strawberry Cream Cold Latte (Printable)

A refreshing chilled blend of sweet strawberries, creamy milk, and cold brew coffee for hot summer days.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Strawberry Base

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons water

→ Milk & Cream

04 - 1 cup cold whole milk
05 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

→ Coffee

06 - 1/2 cup cold brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled

→ To Serve

07 - 1/2 cup ice cubes
08 - Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
09 - Fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

# How To Make:

01 - Combine strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes until strawberries soften and release their juices. Let cool completely, then blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a seedless puree.
02 - In a shaker or large glass, combine the cooled strawberry puree, cold milk, and heavy cream. Stir or shake vigorously until fully incorporated and smooth.
03 - Divide ice cubes evenly between two tall glasses. Pour the strawberry cream mixture over the ice, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
04 - Slowly pour the cold brewed espresso or coffee over the back of a spoon to create a distinct layered marbled effect on top of the strawberry cream mixture.
05 - Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices if desired. Serve immediately while chilled and enjoy your refreshing summer beverage.

# Expert Advice:

  • Its like having a fancy coffee shop drink without leaving your house or spending six dollars
  • The combination of fresh strawberries and creamy milk creates this gorgeous marbled effect that makes every sip feel special
02 -
  • Serve these drinks immediately after assembling because the ice dilutes the flavors quickly and you lose that perfect texture balance

  • The marbling effect works best when both the coffee and cream mixture are equally cold
