Think about all the money you’re saving by making your own pumpkin spice latte, cold brew coffee or chai tea latte. The coffee shops are great for convenience sometimes, but it’s also incredibly nice to learn how to make coffee drinks yourself so you can enjoy them at home as much as you want.

ingredients displayed for making iced vanilla latte

Ingredients needed for Iced Vanilla Latte:

granulated sugar
water
vanilla extract
ice cubes
hot espresso (or coffee)
half and half cream

How to make Vanilla Syrup for coffee:

It’s super easy to make your own homemade vanilla syrup for coffee. Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water to a saucepan. Heat to boiling, stir until sugar dissolves. Let the sugar syrup cool completely. Then add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract to the cooled sugar syrup to create vanilla syrup. This can be used to make a regular (hot) vanilla latte too. This recipe for vanilla syrup will allow you to make about 10 beverages. Just store it in the refrigerator, and it will keep for up to one month.

How to make an Iced Vanilla Latte:

Add ice to a tall glass. Pour 2 shots of hot espresso over the ice cubes. The ice cubes will melt a little bit. That’s okay! You want the strong espresso to get diluted slightly.

Can you make espresso in a Keurig?

Yes! You don’t have to have an espresso maker to brew espresso. If you have a coffee maker that uses K-cups or pods (like a Keurig), you can use espresso pods instead of coffee pods. We happen to have the Keurig Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker at my house, and we love it. And in a pinch, you can just brew some coffee and make this recipe with coffee instead of espresso.

And the final step of making an Iced Vanilla Latte is to add 1/4 cup of half and half cream to the glass. This is the fun part because you get to see the swirling that happens in the coffee as you pour it in.
