How to Make the Perfect Iced Vanilla Latte at Home!
There’s nothing quite like a refreshing iced latte on a warm day—or honestly, any day. Whether you’re trying to save money, avoid the coffee shop line, or simply want to elevate your home barista game, this Iced Vanilla Latte is the perfect go-to drink.
With just a few simple ingredients and under 5 minutes of your time, you’ll have a creamy, balanced, and perfectly sweet coffee treat in your hands!
📝 Ingredients
1 oz (30g) sugar-free vanilla syrup
1 tbsp (21g) honey 🍯
Ice ❄️
1 double shot of espresso (about 60ml) ☕
150–200ml milk of your choice 🥛 (dairy or any plant-based alternative)
Optional: milk frother for a barista-style foamy top
🧊 Instructions
In your serving glass, add the vanilla syrup, honey, and a generous amount of ice.
Brew a double shot of espresso and pour it over the syrup mixture.
Use a milk frother to lightly whisk the espresso, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
In a separate glass or pitcher, add more ice and pour in your milk.
Slowly pour the foamy espresso over the milk to create a beautiful layer effect.
Stir well before drinking—or enjoy it layered for a café-style presentation!
💡 Pro Tip: You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the vanilla syrup or skipping the honey altogether. Want it creamier? Use whole milk or oat milk!
