Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Grab a Coffee Cup & Add Syrup:
- As a hot drink, this recipe starts with a Coffee Cup.
- The first step is crucial: add four pumps of Strawberry Syrup to the bottom of the empty cup.
-
Brew Espresso Over Syrup:
- Next, brew a fresh, hot shot of Espresso directly into the cup.
- Pouring the espresso over the syrup helps to start mixing the flavors together.
-
Steam and Pour Milk:
- Take cold Whole Milk and steam it until it's hot and has a smooth, velvety microfoam.
- Pour the steamed milk into the cup, combining it with the strawberry-espresso mixture.
-
Serve Immediately:
- The drink is now a beautiful pink hue and ready to be served. Hand it to the customer while it's still hot.
Syrup & Flavor Guide
Key to Success:
- Syrup First: Always add the syrup to the cup before the espresso and milk for proper flavor infusion.
- Four Pumps is Standard: Most flavored lattes in the game use exactly four pumps of syrup. Don't guess!
- Hot Drink, Hot Milk: Remember to steam the milk. Using cold milk would make this an Iced Strawberry Latte, which is a different recipe.
- No Garnish Needed: The base recipe does not require any toppings like whipped cream or strawberry slices.
