Scale

- 2 tablespoons strawberry puree (from fresh or frozen strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the heavy whipping cream, milk, strawberry puree, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
- Use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture.
- Start on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high speed.
- Whip until stiff peaks form. This usually takes 3 to 5 minutes with a hand mixer. Do not over-whip.
- Prepare your iced coffee or iced latte base.

Notes
- For a thicker puree, simmer fresh strawberries until soft, then mash or blend them. Cool completely before using.
- If you do not have an electric mixer, you can vigorously whisk by hand, but expect this to take 10 to 15 minutes.
- This recipe makes enough topping for 2 to 3 iced lattes.
