Vanilla Latte Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Freshly brewed espresso
- 8 ounces Milk (whole, 2%, skim, or plant-based—your choice!)
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sweetener (sugar, honey, or a sugar substitute)
- Whipped cream (Optional)
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon (Optional)
Instructions
- Steam the Milk
Pour milk into a steaming pitcher and heat it to 145 to 165 degrees F (65 to 70 degrees C) using the steaming wand of an espresso machine.
- Brew Your Coffee or Espresso
If you're using a coffee maker, brew a strong cup of coffee. For an authentic latte, consider using espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, a strong brewed coffee works just as well.
- Prepare the Latte
Pour espresso over vanilla syrup in a large coffee mug. Pour the steamed milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Spoon the foam over the top.
- Add the Final Touches:
If you're feeling extra fancy, top your Vanilla Latte with a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top adds a delightful finishing touch.
