Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
  • 2 oz espresso shots
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  • Start by heating up the milk in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or until hot.
  • Froth the milk with a milk frother until it is foamy and has doubled in size.
  • In your cup pour the espresso shots and vanilla syrup.
  • Pour the hot milk in your coffee cup first, reserving the foam.
  • Top off with foam.
  • Finish with whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a creamier texture and richer taste, but feel free to experiment with other milk options based on your preference or dietary needs.
  • If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a moka pot or instant coffee as a substitute.
  • To make an iced vanilla latte, follow the same steps but pour the hot latte over ice cubes in a tall glass.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the richest coffee flavor.
  • Taste before serving and add a little more vanilla syrup if you prefer a sweeter latte.
