Equipment
- Blender
- Coffee maker
- Frothing pitcher or whisk
- Tall glasses or mugs
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup milk whole or your preferred type
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee hot and freshly brewed
- 1 tbsp honey or simple syrup optional for sweetness
- ice as needed ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Place the chopped strawberries into a blender with the milk and honey, then blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant pink, with no large fruit chunks.
- Pour the hot brewed coffee into a frothing pitcher or directly into a glass to help it cool slightly and develop a rich aroma.
- Froth the milk and strawberry mixture using a frother or whisk until it becomes creamy and slightly airy, about 30 seconds.
- Fill your glass or mug halfway with ice cubes to chill the drink and add visual appeal.
- Pour the cooled coffee into the glass over the ice, creating a layered effect with the strawberry milk.
- Gently spoon or pour the frothy strawberry milk over the coffee layer, allowing the pink hue to rise to the top and create a beautiful swirl.
- Optional: Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a sprig of mint for an extra burst of color and aroma.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer, and enjoy the refreshing blend of fruity tartness and rich coffee aroma.
Notes
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey. For a dairy-free version, substitute almond or coconut milk.
