The secret lies in freezing strawberry syrup or jam into ice cube trays for a visually stunning and intensely flavored strawberry latte. Easily recreate this beautiful and delicious drink at home, perfect for special occasions, lazy afternoons, or elegant tea parties with friends.
Essential Ingredients- Strawberry Syrup or Strawberry Ripple Jam: 1 soju cup (approx. 50ml)
- Milk: 500ml
- Strawberry Syrup Cubes: 5-10 cubes (or regular ice cubes)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start with the preparation for your homemade strawberry latte cubes. First, get your strawberry syrup or strawberry ripple jam ready. Pour this into an ice cube tray, level it out, and place it in the freezer. This is the foundation for your beautiful latte.
Step 2
Strawberry syrup, being thicker than water, might take a little longer to freeze solid. Ensure it’s frozen completely, ideally overnight, or until the strawberry syrup cubes are firm. This firmness is key for a nice presentation later.
Step 3
Now, select a pretty glass for your drink. Pour about one soju cup (approximately 50ml) of strawberry syrup or ripple jam into the bottom of the glass. This layer will provide a rich, sweet strawberry base for your latte.
Step 4
Carefully pour the milk over the strawberry syrup. It’s helpful to consider the volume of the strawberry cubes you’ll add later when deciding how much milk to pour. You can also opt to add the milk first and then layer the strawberry cubes on top.
Step 5
(Optional) For a more distinct layered effect, after pouring the milk, place the glass in the freezer for a short while until the milk surface begins to firm up slightly. This will help the strawberry syrup cubes settle nicely on top without sinking too quickly.
Step 6
Once your glass is prepared, artfully arrange the frozen strawberry syrup cubes on top of the milk. If the cubes aren’t completely solid, use a butter knife or the back of a spoon to gently lift and place them. This final touch makes your latte visually stunning.
Step 7
Voila! Your beautiful and delicious strawberry latte with homemade cubes is ready. This visually appealing pink drink is sure to brighten your day and impress your guests.
Step 8
Before enjoying, stir the latte well to ensure the strawberry syrup cubes dissolve and mix thoroughly with the milk. If you plan to use a straw, a wider diameter straw is recommended for a smoother sipping experience, as it will accommodate the syrup and any potential small strawberry bits.
