Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cups Brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons Raspberry syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Sugar or sweetener (optional)
- optional Whipped cream (for garnish)
- 3 pieces Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
- 1 ounce Raspberry liqueur (e.g., Chambord, optional for alcoholic version)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. If using non-dairy milk, avoid overheating to prevent separation.
Brew ½ cup of espresso or strong coffee using your favorite method.
If making the alcoholic version, pour 1 ounce of raspberry liqueur into the coffee and stir gently.
Add the raspberry syrup, vanilla extract, and optional sugar to the coffee mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and dissolved.
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the steamed milk until it's light and airy.
Divide the coffee mixture evenly between two cups. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee, spooning the foam on top for a latte-like appearance.
Top with whipped cream (optional), fresh raspberries, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an indulgent garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the luscious flavors of your Love Potion Latte 9 with someone special!
