A smooth, sweet, and indulgent latte made with light-roast blonde coffee, vanilla syrup, and frothed milk. Perfect for cozy coffee breaks without needing an espresso machine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed strong blonde roast coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong blonde roast coffee using your preferred method (drip, pour-over, AeroPress).
  2. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of milk in a microwave-safe container or small saucepan until warm but not boiling (around 140ยฐF / 60ยฐC).
  3. Froth the milk using a milk frother, whisk, or by shaking in a sealed jar until light and creamy foam forms.
  4. Pour 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup into your coffee mug. If you donโ€™t have syrup, add ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract plus 1 teaspoon sweetener.
  5. Pour the brewed coffee over the syrup and stir gently to combine.
  6. Slowly add the frothed milk to the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon the foam on top to create a creamy cap.
  7. Optionally, dust with cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish.
  8. Enjoy your creamy blonde vanilla latte warm.

Notes

Use fresh blonde roast coffee beans for best flavor. Warm milk gently to avoid scalding and to improve froth quality. Whole milk or barista-style oat milk froth best. Mix syrup and coffee first to prevent settling. If no frother, shaking milk in a jar works well.
