Raspberry latte Calories

Mix raspberry syrup into freshly brewed espresso, then add steamed, frothed milk to make a hot raspberry latte. For an iced version, combine the espresso and syrup, pour them over ice, and top with cold milk.

Yes, a raspberry latte made with espresso contains caffeine; the raspberry flavor does not remove it. Ask for decaf espresso or use decaffeinated coffee at home if you want the drink with less caffeine.

Yes, a raspberry latte works well iced. Stir the raspberry flavoring into espresso first, then pour the mixture over ice and add cold milk; adding the syrup to the espresso helps it blend instead of settling at the bottom.

Raspberry syrup blends easily into a raspberry latte, while fresh raspberries give it a fruitier, less uniform texture. You can mash and strain fresh berries into a purée, then adjust the sweetness to taste.

Yes, raspberry can pair well with coffee in a raspberry latte: its tart, fruity flavor contrasts with espresso’s roasted notes and creamy milk. A moderate amount of raspberry flavoring keeps the coffee from being overwhelmed.

Yes, acidic raspberry purée can make milk curdle in a raspberry latte, especially when it meets hot milk. Raspberry syrup is less likely to cause this; if using purée, strain it and mix it into the espresso before adding milk.

Yes, you can make a raspberry latte without an espresso machine by using strongly brewed coffee as the base. Add raspberry syrup or purée, then top with steamed or cold milk; the flavor will be less concentrated than with espresso.

A raspberry latte made with sweetened raspberry syrup or sauce is usually sweet. For a less sweet version, ask for less syrup or use unsweetened raspberry purée, then add sweetener only if needed.

Refrigerate a leftover raspberry latte in a covered container and drink it as soon as possible, preferably the same day. The foam will collapse and the ingredients may separate, so stir it before drinking; avoid leaving a milk-based drink at room temperature.
