Happy Presidents' Day

Carrie Masek

Today is President's Day. The USPS is closed and any orders we receive between noon, February 16 and tomorrow morning will be roasted and mailed tomorrow.

To celebrate Presidents' Day, we started the morning with our favorite President's Day treat, Cherry Vanilla Lattes.

Some of us here at Coffee by the Roast are old enough to remember when the holiday was February 22, no matter which day of the week that was, and celebrated George Washington's birthday. One of the stories children were told about our first president was the apocryphal tale of the young Washington who chopped down his father's favorite cherry tree, but avoided punishment because he was honest enough to admit he was responsible.

A great lesson for children, and a wonderful excuse to enjoy cherries in February: Fresh, if you can find them, in desserts, or (you're like us) in coffee. Here's our recipe for Cherry Vanilla Latte.

With an espresso machine:

  • Steam 8 oz of milk

  • Pull 2 shots of your favorite espresso (ours is Espresso Trieste) and add them to the milk.

  • Stir in 1 Tb Vanilla Syrup and 1 Tb Cherry extract (or syrup if you prefer a sweeter latte)

  • Enjoy!

Without an espresso machine:

  • Heat 6 oz cold brew concentrate (or use 6 oz strong-brewed coffee)

  • Heat 6-8 oz milk

  • Blend coffee and milk

  • Stir in 1 Tb Vanilla Syrup and 1 Tb Cherry extract (or syrup if you prefer a sweeter latte)

  • Enjoy!

Thanks for reading Coffee by the Blog!
