Instructions:
-
Brew the Coffee:
Add 6 oz water to your brewer and pop in your Crazy Cups Vanilla Cherry Blossom pod. Brew into a heatproof cup. -
Cool It Down:
Let the coffee sit for a few minutes until it cools to room temperature. (Speed tip: stick it in the fridge for a bit.) -
Make Your Sweet Cream:
In a small bowl or frother, combine heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Froth or whisk until thick and creamy. -
Assemble the Latte:
Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice. Top with 2 oz of your freshly made sweet cream. -
Garnish + Serve:
Sprinkle dried sakura petals on top for a delicate, floral finish. Sip, smile, repeat.
Tips & Variations:
-
Dairy-Free Twist: Swap heavy cream for coconut cream or oat milk barista blend. Still rich, still dreamy.
-
Low Sugar Option: Use monk fruit sweetener or stevia in the sweet cream instead of sugar.
-
Extra Fancy: Add a drop of rosewater or almond extract to the sweet cream for even more floral flair.
-
Flavor Swap: Try this recipe with Crazy Cups White Chocolate Strawberry for a berries-and-cream variation.
