Homemade Vanilla Latte Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 shot espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
• 1 cup milk (whole, oat, almond, or your favorite)
• 1–2 teaspoons vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
• Optional: sugar or honey, to taste
• Optional topping: milk foam or whipped cream

How to Make It

1. Brew the coffee
   Prepare one shot of espresso or strong coffee and pour it into your favorite mug.
2. Heat the milk
   Warm the milk on the stove or in the microwave. Don’t let it boil, just warm and steamy.
3. Froth (optional but lovely)
   Use a milk frother, whisk, or jar-with-a-lid method to create creamy foam.
4. Add vanilla magic
   Stir vanilla syrup into the coffee until well blended.
5. Pour & finish
   Slowly add the warm milk, top with foam, and finish with whipped cream if you’re feeling indulgent.
