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
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.

Where do you get your vanilla syrup from?

Hi Halle,
I purchased my syrup from Amazon. You can find it here: https://amzn.to/2zTwJjy
Alex says
Hey could you substitute the vanilla syrup with vanilla extract???
Jesseca says
I wouldn’t recommend that swap. However, we have had success making our own vanilla syrup for coffee. Mix 1-3/4 cup water, 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in one tablespoon pure vanilla extract.
