Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the strawberries are soft and syrupy (about 5 minutes). Use a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black to puree the mixture for a smoother syrup, if desired. Strain to remove seeds and pulp.
- Prepare the Espresso: Brew 2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong coffee. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- Froth the Milk: Heat and froth your milk. A countertop frother works great for this, but you can also warm it on the stove and use a whisk.
- Assemble the Drink: In a tall glass, add a few spoonfuls of strawberry syrup over ice. Pour in the coffee, then slowly add the milk. Stir to combine and watch the beautiful swirls form.
- Finish & Enjoy: Top with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry slice, if desired. Drink immediately for the best flavor!
