Iced Vanilla Almond Milk Latte
This Iced Vanilla Almond Milk Latte combines rich espresso with smooth almond milk and a touch of vanilla syrup for a refreshing, dairy-free twist. Perfect for a cool, energizing pick-me-up on a warm day.
Ingredients
- Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Vanilla syrup
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Start by filling a tall glass about 2/3 full with ice cubes. Using plenty of ice is key since your hot coffee will melt some right away.
- Pour 2-3 tablespoons of vanilla syrup over the ice.
- Brew your coffee – if using espresso, pull 2 shots (about 2 oz total). For strong brewed coffee, use about 4-5 oz.
- Pour your hot coffee/espresso slowly over the ice and syrup. You’ll hear it crackle as it hits the ice – this quick-chill helps prevent bitterness.
- Fill the rest of the glass with cold almond milk, leaving about 1/2 inch at the top. Pour it slowly down the side of the glass – this helps it layer nicely with the coffee.
- Give it a quick stir, just enough to combine everything. The drink should be a creamy light brown color with a slight marbling effect.
