Cool down with this sweet Iced Vanilla Latte all summer. It is a refreshing way to get your daily cup of Joe and easier than you would think to whip up!

I have been known to visit our local Starbucks on the regular.

This girl LOVES coffee.

When I realized I almost always order the same drink, I figured it was time for me to get my barista on.

After a few tried and failed attempts, I have managed to make the very BEST:

Iced Vanilla Latte Recipe

Name: Iced Vanilla Latte
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee; 1 cup milk or cream; 1/2 cup vanilla syrup (more or less to taste); ice

After making this recipe I decided I should be a barista.

Or really, anyone could be a barista.

Not that I am super amazing at making coffee beverages but THIS latte is so so simple.

You really cannot go wrong when you only have a few basic ingredients.

TIP: Make sure you have a quality strong brewed coffee would be my only tip and you will be golden!

How do you make an iced latte at home?

Start with QUALITY ingredients. This is where you will get most of your flavor.
Decide if you want to use strong brewed coffee or espresso. We have gone both ways but I personally prefer coffee.
Mix all of your ingredients and enjoy!

What is in an iced latte?

There are only a handful of basic ingredients in this recipe; coffee, milk, and flavored syrup.

I have mentioned twice that quality is key. So what do I mean by quality ingredients?

Ideally, you want to grind your own coffee beans. This will give you the freshest flavor. However, it’s not necessary in a pinch.
Purchase coffee other than Foulgers. I’m not bashing them by any means, I just prefer the taste of Peet’s, Gevalia, or Green Mountain if I’m using ready to brew coffee.
Use whole milk or cream.
Do not use sugar free syrup.
