Cherry, Lavender and Almond Latte Ideas

If caramel and vanilla feel a bit everyday, try something different. Cherry, lavender and almond all work beautifully with espresso and milk, and they make great iced drinks too.

What you need

• An espresso machine with a steam wand
• Espresso coffee, such as our Momentum Espresso
• Sweetbird Cherry Syrup, Lavender Syrup or Almond Syrup
• A 350ml milk jug

The recipe (12oz)

• 10ml syrup (one pump)
• Double espresso (about 36g)
• About 220ml of steamed milk

Step by step

1. Add the syrup to your cup.
2. Pull a double espresso on top and stir. See our espresso guide.
3. Steam the milk to 60 to 65°C and pour it in.

Three ideas

• Cherry bakewell latte: half a pump of cherry and half a pump of almond. Like the classic tart in a cup.
• Lavender latte: one pump of lavender with oat milk. Floral and calm. Also lovely in a matcha latte.
• Almond latte: one pump of almond for a marzipan note. Great at Christmas.

Tips

• Floral flavours are strong. Start with half a pump of lavender.
• Cherry and chocolate go together. Try it in a mocha.
• All three work iced.
