# Ingredients List:

→ Fruit Syrup

01 - 300 g cherries, pitted (frozen acceptable)
02 - 100 g granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener
03 - 120 ml water

→ Beverage Components

04 - 120 ml strong brewed coffee or coffee substitute

# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - In a saucepan, combine cherries, water, and sugar or monk fruit. Heat over medium heat.
02 - Allow mixture to reach a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally and mashing cherries to extract juice.
03 - Once sugar has dissolved and syrup has thickened slightly, remove saucepan from heat.
04 - Strain syrup through a fine mesh into a glass container, discard solids, and let syrup cool to room temperature.
05 - Fill a glass with ice and pour in preferred amount of cherry syrup.
06 - Froth vanilla almond milk and creamer together; omit this step if no frother is available.
07 - Pour frothed milk mixture over ice and syrup, then top with brewed coffee. Stir gently before serving.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Adjust cherry syrup quantity for desired sweetness; espresso enhances coffee intensity. Regular milk may substitute almond milk.
