# What You Need:

→ Strawberry Base

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons water

→ Milk & Cream

04 - 1 cup cold whole milk
05 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

→ Coffee

06 - 1/2 cup cold brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled

→ To Serve

07 - 1/2 cup ice cubes
08 - Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
09 - Fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

# How-To:

01 - Combine strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes until strawberries soften and release their juices. Let cool, then blend until smooth. Strain if desired for a seedless puree.
02 - In a shaker or large glass, combine the strawberry puree, cold milk, and heavy cream. Stir well until fully incorporated.
03 - Add ice cubes to two tall glasses. Pour the strawberry cream mixture evenly over the ice, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
04 - Slowly pour the cold brewed coffee over the top of each glass to create a marbled effect. Pour gently to maintain the layered appearance.
05 - Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. Serve immediately while chilled.

  • You get to feel fancy making coffee shop drinks in your own kitchen
02 -
  • The strawberry puree can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for up to three days
  • Cold brew coffee works better than hot coffee that's been chilled because it's less bitter
