Easy Homemade Vanilla Latte Recipe
Indulge in creamy perfection! Our easy homemade vanilla latte recipe guides you to craft this cafe-favorite drink right in your own kitchen with simple steps.
Equipment
- 2 glasses
- Spoon
- Kettle
- measuring spoon/cup
Ingredients
- 1½ tsp instant coffee or espresso powder
- 25 ml hot water
- 170 ml cold milk (any type you prefer)
- 25 ml vanilla syrup or 1 tbsp sugar + ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 6–8 ice cubes
Instructions
- Dissolve the CoffeeIn a small glass, combine 1½ teaspoons of instant coffee with 25 ml of hot water. Stir thoroughly until the coffee is completely dissolved and smooth.
- Build the Vanilla BaseIn a separate, larger glass, pour in your vanilla syrup (or sugar and vanilla extract mixture). Add ice to fill about ¾ of the glass, then gently pour in the cold milk over the ice.
- Combine the LayersSlowly pour the dissolved coffee from the first glass over the milk and vanilla mixture. This helps create a beautiful, slightly layered effect.
- Stir to BlendGive the drink a light stir to mix the coffee, milk, and vanilla evenly—or leave it semi-layered for a gradient look and evolving flavor as you sip.
- Customize & SipTaste and adjust if needed—add more vanilla for sweetness or extra ice for a colder brew. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing iced vanilla latte experience.
