Ingredients
Scale
For the Latte
- 2 shots freshly brewed espresso (or ~6 oz strong coffee)
- 8–10 oz milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2–3 Tbsp raspberry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla syrup or pure vanilla extract
- Ice, as needed
For the Vanilla Cold Foam (Optional)
- 3 oz heavy cream
- 1 oz milk
- 1 oz vanilla syrup
Instructions
- Brew espresso or strong coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or approximately 6 ounces of strong coffee. Allow it to cool slightly or chill in the refrigerator to prevent dilution when mixed with ice.
- Prepare the glass: Take a tall glass and add a generous amount of ice cubes. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of raspberry syrup followed by 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup or pure vanilla extract.
- Add espresso to glass: Pour the cooled espresso carefully over the syrups and ice, allowing the flavors to mingle.
- Pour milk and mix: Add 8 to 10 ounces of your chosen milk to fill the glass. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly without losing the icy texture.
- Make vanilla cold foam (optional): In a separate bowl or using a frother, combine 3 ounces heavy cream, 1 ounce milk, and 1 ounce vanilla syrup. Froth until light and airy.
- Top the latte: Spoon the prepared vanilla cold foam or whipped cream over the top of the iced latte for a creamy finish.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the Vanilla Raspberry Iced Latte immediately while cold and refreshing.
Notes
- You can substitute espresso with strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.
- Adjust the amount of raspberry and vanilla syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
- For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk and coconut cream instead of heavy cream for the cold foam.
- If you prefer, skip the cold foam and top with whipped cream for added richness.
- Chill the espresso beforehand to keep the drink cold longer without watering it down.
