# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of fresh strawberry puree and cold brew creates this gorgeous marbled effect that makes every glass feel like something you'd order at a fancy café but without leaving your kitchen
  • Its endlessly customizable—adjust the sweetness, swap the dairy, or even skip the caffeine entirely and still end up with something beautiful
02 -
  • Your coffee needs to be completely cold before pouring, or it will melt the ice too fast and ruin those beautiful layers you just created
  • The strawberry puree can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, which means you can make these lattes on demand all week long
03 -
  • Always taste your strawberries before adding the full amount of sugar—exceptionally sweet berries might need less
  • The drink separates as it sits, which is completely normal and actually quite beautiful, but give it a gentle stir if you prefer it blended
