Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Sieve
- Spoon
- Large 20 oz glass or large glass quart jar
Ingredients
- 8 oz frozen strawberries Two 1 Cup Measuring cups full
- 1/4 cup allulose or your favorite sugar free granulated sugar substitute
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup ice cubes or enough to fill your glass
Instructions
- Begin by washing and hulling 8 oz of fresh strawberries or use frozen strawberries. Add them to a small saucepan along with the allulose and water.8 oz frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup allulose, 1/2 cup water
- Turn the heat to medium and bring it to a boil. Once the strawberries start boiling, turn the heat down to low.
- Stir and mash them in the pan until smashed. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Now put a small sieve over a large bowl and pour the strawberries in. Stir and press the strawberries through the sieve collecting the puree in the bowl.
- Alternately you can blend them into a smooth consistency using a blender or food processor. If you choose to use the blender, make sure you let the strawberries cool before blending or the lid may pop off and be dangerous.
- This puree will serve as the base for both the strawberry syrup and the strawberry milk. I poured mine into a glass bottle then placed in the fridge to cool.
- Start by adding ice cubes to a 20oz serving glass, filling it about halfway. You can also use a quart glass jar if you wish.1 cup ice cubes
- Measure out 5 tablespoons of strawberry syrup into the glass.
- Now pour in your chosen milk, which I used unsweetened almond milk.1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- Top off with the espresso shot or brewed coffee. I enjoy it stirred up to mix the flavors.1/4 cup espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- Store any leftover strawberry puree in the fridge up to 1 week. It makes enough for 4 glass fulls of strawberry lattes.
Notes
Can I use a dairy milk if I do not need it to be dairy-free?
Yes! Dairy milk will work with this recipe just fine! Choose whole milk or heavy cream as your white layer to this Easy Iced Strawberry Latte Recipe.
Can I use a different sweetener in the strawberry puree other than what is listed?
Yes, you can use a different sweetener in the strawberry puree if you would like such as coconut sugar or stevia. If you want to replace it with a liquid sweetener like maple syrup, just skip the addition of the sweetener in the puree and add it to the drink when you add in the puree. You may need to simmer the strawberry puree for longer so it thickens up with the natural pectin contained in the strawberries.
If I follow the recipe as listed, how many grams of carbs and fiber is there?
The recipe for the strawberry syrup makes enough for 4 servings. One serving has 5.1 grams of carbs, 1.3 grams fiber and 24 calories. This is for the strawberries, unsweetened almond milk and allulose. You will need to add in the amount of carbs and fiber that is contained in the sweetener you choose for your strawberry syrup to be exact.
What if I want to skip making the strawberry puree, are there alternatives?
You can purchase strawberry milk and use that instead. There is a Korean Strawberry Milk available at some Asian markets that could stand in for the puree syrup and almond milk used in this recipe.
