Ingredients You Can Add to Valentine's Day Coffee Drinks
Coffee lovers around the world have the best opportunity to celebrate one of the most romantic days in the whole year with many enchanting Valentine's Day latte recipes. Lucky for them, there is a whole wide range of add-ons they can include in their coffee drinks to make them special, romantic, and truly flavorful.
Let's talk about some of them.
Chocolate Shavings
A classic but beloved route is adding chocolate to your coffee drink -- whether it is chocolate shavings or chocolate chips that can be added to hot coffee drinks or on top of whipped cream in cold variants.
Chocolate as an add-on is simple yet efficient, elevating your Valentine's Day coffee in a matter of minutes. Try it before you knock it!
Sweetened Condensed Milk
Sweetened condensed milk is a great ingredient to replace your plain milk with, especially if you want to kill two birds with one stone and replace sugar or other sweeteners in your recipe.
This milk is sweet and delicate but offers a really creamy and rich flavor and texture, so it'll be perfect in all your Valentine's lattes.
Red Food Coloring
Food coloring may not be the most obvious ingredient to add to your coffee drinks, but it can be worth considering. Especially if you wish to prepare a themed Valentine's red velvet latte or chocolate strawberry mocha, red food coloring can be immensely helpful in achieving this deep, pink, or red coffee color that will certainly make an impression.
Chocolate Ice Cream
Or, really, any flavor of ice cream can be a good add-on if you want to turn a Valentine's coffee into a Valentine's dessert! For obvious reasons, we wouldn't recommend mixing ice cream with a hot brew, but there is no reason not to add the delicious chocolate ice cream of your choice to iced coffee. Definitely, a way to surprise your loved one with something a little extra.
Black Cherry Syrup
Syrups are one of the easiest yet most effective ways to change the plain, simple drink into a symphony of flavors and pleasure. The black cherry syrup is amongst our favorites because of the richness of its flavor profile, but you can reach for the strawberry syrup, too, if you want something bright and colorful on top of your coffee cream or chocolate syrup for darker, heavier tones.
Syrups are the way to go in transforming any regular coffee into a truly romantic drink.
Cocoa Powder
And if you want to express the power of your love with some meaningful decoration, all you need is a mold and some cocoa powder sprinkled over it. You can add some hearts, stars, or flowers on top of the whipped cream, changing it from something simple to a drink with intention.
Just remember to use unsweetened cocoa powder if your coffee contains sugar already.
Vanilla Extract
Sometimes, all a Valentine's Day coffee drink needs is a little kick. Vanilla extract is a reliable ingredient to add, as many people love it and already include it in their coffee orders or homemade recipes.
You simply can't go wrong with a touch of vanilla! Unless someone has an allergy to this extract, in which case, it's good to steer away from it.
