Description
A smooth and creamy Vanilla Iced Latte blending rich espresso, velvety milk, and a touch of vanilla sweetness, perfect for a refreshing coffee treat anytime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots freshly brewed espresso
- 1 to 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk alternative such as oat, almond, or soy milk)
- Ice cubes (enough to fill a tall glass)
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Start by pulling a fresh shot or two of espresso using your espresso machine, moka pot, or stove-top espresso maker—aim for strong, rich coffee to balance the milk and sweetness.
- While your espresso is still hot, stir in your preferred amount of vanilla syrup so it dissolves fully, infusing the coffee with that signature sweet flavor.
- Load up a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes to chill the drink thoroughly and create that satisfying icy texture.
- Slowly pour the vanilla-infused espresso on top of the ice, ensuring every cube starts cooling instantly and flavors start melding.
- Pour your milk of choice over the espresso and ice, then stir gently so the layers blend into a perfectly creamy, appetizing mix.
- For that extra touch, add a swirl of whipped cream on top or a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate your presentation and taste.
