Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Microwave safe mugs
- Coffee Maker or Espresso Machine
- Milk Frother
Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso (½ cup strong brewed coffee)
- ¾ cup steamed whole milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla bean coffee syrup, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Start by brewing your favorite strong coffee or a shot of espresso. If using an espresso machine, pull one shot of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, brew ½ cup of strong coffee using a French press, drip coffee maker, or instant espresso powder for a bold flavor.
- In a small saucepan, warm ¾ cup of milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling. If using a microwave, heat the milk for 30-45 seconds until warm. Once heated, use a milk frother to create a light and foamy texture.
- In a mug, pour the brewed espresso or coffee. Stir in 2 tablespoons of vanilla bean coffee syrup, adjusting to taste for more or less sweetness.
- Slowly pour the steamed and frothed milk over the coffee, holding back some foam with a spoon and then topping it at the end for a beautiful finish.
- Stir, sip, and enjoy your homemade Vanilla Bean Latte—smooth, creamy, and delicious.
