Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries chopped – 1/2 cup
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons
- Water – 2 tablespoons
- Milk cold – 1 cup
- Fresh cream – 2 tablespoons
- Brewed espresso or strong coffee – 1/2 cup
- Ice cubes – 1 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
Make Strawberry Syrup
- Add strawberries, sugar and water into a saucepan. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Stir gently until strawberries soften and form a thick syrup.
Blend the Mixture
- Let the syrup cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. This creates a fresh strawberry puree with rich flavor and bright color.
Prepare the Coffee
- Brew strong coffee or espresso. Let it cool to room temperature. Cold coffee works best for this drink and keeps the ice from melting too quickly.
Mix the Cream Layer
- In a small bowl, mix milk, cream and vanilla extract. Stir well until slightly frothy. This adds a smooth and creamy texture to the drink.
Assemble the Glass
- Add strawberry puree to the bottom of a glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes. This creates a layered look and keeps the drink cold.
Add Milk Mixture
- Pour the milk and cream mixture slowly over the ice. This helps create a beautiful layered effect with the strawberry base.
Pour the Coffee
- Slowly add the cooled coffee on top. Serve immediately. Stir before drinking to mix all flavors perfectly.
Notes
- Use fresh and ripe strawberries for best flavor.
- Adjust sugar based on sweetness preference.
- Use full-fat milk for a creamy taste.
- Chill the coffee before using.
- Blend strawberries well for a smooth texture.
- Add whipped cream for a fancy touch.
