Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole, skim, or plant-based)
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Optional Sweeteners

  • Honey, sugar, or alternative sweetener (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Brew Your Coffee: Start with brewing a fresh shot of espresso or a strong coffee brew; this intense coffee flavor is the backbone of your Vanilla Iced Latte.
  2. Prepare the Vanilla Syrup: If making homemade vanilla syrup, mix equal parts sugar and water with vanilla extract over low heat until dissolved; alternatively, use a quality store-bought vanilla syrup.
  3. Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the espresso or coffee over the ice, add vanilla syrup to your desired sweetness, and then pour the milk to fill the glass.
  4. Stir and Serve: Give your drink a good stir to combine the flavors evenly, then serve with a straw or spoon and enjoy the refreshing, creamy vanilla delight.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.
  • Chill milk and coffee beforehand to keep the drink crisp and prevent quick dilution.
  • Adjust the sweetness by starting with less vanilla syrup and increasing as desired.
  • Use large ice cubes to melt slower and keep your latte cooler longer.
  • Experiment with different milk types to find your favorite creaminess and flavor.
