Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and what better way to celebrate it than with good ol’ Mr. Cuppa Joe.
Here’s how to make a beautiful Valentine’s latte.
Note: If you don’t have a frother, you can use a french press, but I’ve linked an inexpensive hand-held, easy-to-use frother from Amazon.
What you will need:
- Freshly brewed espresso (or dark roast coffee)
- Milk
- Starbucks Caramel Syrup or Vanilla extract
- Pink and/or red crystals for garnish (if you want to make it fancy)
- Whipped cream (again, fancy factor)
- Red food coloring (actually important)
- Clear coffee mug (fancy factor AND important)
Step 1:
Measure liquids. You’re only going to use 1/3 of your coffee mug for brewed coffee, and the rest is milk. Set your coffee aside in something you can pour with later, preferably with a spout. Place the milk in a sauce pan.
Step 2:
Add 3 pumps of Starbucks Caramel Syrup and 3 drops of red food coloring. Slowly mix and heat the mixture, BUT NOT TO BOIL!
Step 3:
Once the milk mixsture is hot, pour it in a french press (if you have a frother, you can use the frother in the saucepan). Swiftly pump up and down with the plunger for about 30 seconds. You will notice the milk mixture start to foam.

Step 4:
Once you have frothed the milk mixture, REMOVE FRENCH PRESS LID (so you don’t separate the foam) and pour it in your coffee mug.
Step 5:
Pour the coffee SLOWLY in the coffee mug. Use the round end of the spoon to help pour it slowly.

pour coffee 
see the layers 
so pretty!
Step 6:
Whip out that whipped cream and garnish with the pink sugar crystals!
ENJOY!!!!
Yummy! I love coffee and that latte looks so good. I need to treat myself to this drink.

How pretty is that!! Making drinks look good is not an easy feat, but you did it!
I love drinking lattes and also hot chocolate. This is really too cute to drink and will be perfect for the upcoming Valentines Day!
The best hot milk-flavored drink also nice to see! in short, it also looks romantic, perfect for Valentine’s Day!
I’m not a huge coffee fan unless it’s doctored up and this looks like it would be perfect. Yum!
This would be a cute Valentines day breakfast drink. My husband loves coffee, I bet he would love this. I’ll stick to hot chocolate for mine. Thank you for sharing.
That latte looks almost too pretty to drink. What a nice treat to make yourself or your favorite valentine.
