Instructions

For the Vanilla Syrup

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together water, sugar, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool and then remove the vanilla bean. Pour into a glass jar or bottle and refrigerate.

For the Vanilla Latte

Fill two glasses with ice. Brew and pour espresso over the ice cubes.
Mix the milk and vanilla syrup together and pour over the ice and espresso. Top with whipping create for a delicious treat. Enjoy!

Notes

Coffee: Use brewed espresso for the strongest coffeehouse flavor, or substitute strong brewed coffee or cold brew. Chill it before using for the coldest latte.
Milk: Any milk works in this recipe, including dairy milk, half-and-half, oat milk, almond milk, or your favorite creamer.
Vanilla Syrup: Start with less vanilla syrup and add more to taste. Homemade or store-bought vanilla syrup both work well. For a creamier latte, use whole milk, half-and-half, or a splash of cream.
Topping: Whipped cream is optional but makes it feel extra special.
