Ingredients
Raspberry Puree
- ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries (60g)
- 1 tbsp sugar or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tbsp water
Latte
- 1 cup milk of choice (240ml – dairy or plant-based)
- 1 shot espresso OR ½ cup strong brewed tea (chai or black)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
Optional Garnish
- Extra raspberries
- Mint leaves
- Vanilla bean powder or specks
Instructions
- Make the raspberry puree: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, water, and sweetener if using. Simmer over low heat for 7 minutes, mashing the berries as they soften. Strain to remove seeds and let cool.
- Brew your base: While the puree cools, brew espresso or strong tea. Chill if needed.
- Assemble the drink: In a tall glass, spoon in raspberry puree. Fill with ice. Add brewed espresso or tea, milk of choice, and vanilla extract.
- Garnish and serve: Stir gently to mix. Top with fresh raspberries, mint, or vanilla specks if desired.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
- Straining the raspberry puree ensures a smooth texture without seeds.
- Chill espresso or tea beforehand for a more refreshing iced latte.
- Plant-based milk works well for a vegan variation.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar or syrup.
