This Vanilla Caramel Latte recipe brings together rich espresso, creamy steamed milk, and the perfect balance of sweet vanilla and buttery caramel syrups. Topped with optional whipped cream and a caramel drizzle, this indulgent beverage is a cozy and flavorful treat for coffee lovers seeking a delightful homemade latte experience.

Ingredients

Espresso

  • 1-2 shots of brewed espresso

Milk

  • 8 oz steamed milk

Syrups

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • 1 tablespoon caramel syrup

Toppings (Optional)

  • Whipped cream, for garnish
  • Caramel syrup, for drizzle
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, a pinch for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Brew the Espresso: Brew one or two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or coffee maker to create the strong coffee base needed for your latte.
  2. Steam the Milk: Heat and froth the milk using a milk frother or on the stovetop until it is hot and frothy to add a creamy texture to the latte.
  3. Mix Syrups: In your serving glass, combine one tablespoon each of vanilla syrup and caramel syrup. Stir well until the syrups are fully blended together.
  4. Combine: Pour the freshly brewed espresso into the glass containing the syrup mixture. Slowly add the steamed milk, pouring gently to create a smooth and creamy blend.
  5. Top with Whipped Cream (Optional): Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra layer of indulgence and richness.
  6. Drizzle with Caramel and Spice: Drizzle caramel syrup over the whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy, spiced finish.
  7. Serve: Serve your Vanilla Caramel Latte immediately to enjoy the full aroma and flavor of this delicious coffee treat.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of vanilla and caramel syrup to your taste for sweetness.
  • Use whole milk for a creamier latte or substitute with plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso.
  • If you don’t have an espresso machine, use strong brewed coffee as an alternative.
  • Whipped cream and spices are optional but add to the latte’s indulgent experience.
