I Try DIY

For the last week, I’ve been thinking of DIY/Tutorial ideas perfect for both Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. The one thing the two occasions have in common was the color Red. So there I was, taking the last sip of my morning coffee when it hit me.

RED. VELVET. COFFEE.

Here’s the recipe I came up with!

You’ll need the following ingredients:

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Milk, Vanilla or Caramel syrup, Red food coloring, and coffee!

I’ve been using Torani and Da Vinci syrups, but pretty much any syrup will work.

I started off with a heaping teaspoon of cocoa, two pumps of syrup and red food coloring.

I steamed some milk until was rich and creamy, and poured it into the espresso mixture.

Play around with the ingredient measurements until you get the combination that works best for you.

And for a fun and quirky finish, I scooped some frothy milk foam and made a heart!
