Follow these steps to make a delicious vanilla latte at home, suitable for both hot and iced preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso (about 2 oz)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (or to taste)
  • Optional: Ice cubes for iced version

Instructions

  1. Prepare your espresso shots using an espresso machine or strong brewed coffee.
  2. If making a hot latte, heat the milk gently in a saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling.
  3. Add the vanilla syrup to your mug.
  4. Pour the hot espresso over the syrup.
  5. Froth the hot milk using a steamer wand, French press, or electric frother until foamy.
  6. Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture.
  7. For an iced latte, pour the espresso and syrup into a glass filled with ice.
  8. Top the iced drink with cold milk and stir gently.

Notes

  • To froth milk without a machine, heat the milk, pour it into a French press, and rapidly pump the plunger until foam forms.
  • Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use strongly brewed coffee or a Moka pot if you do not have an espresso maker.
