Print Recipe

This quick and easy iced vanilla latte uses just three simple ingredients—cold brew concentrate, milk, and vanilla syrup—for a creamy, sweet coffee-shop taste at home in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew concentrate or strong brewed coffee, chilled
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk of your choice (whole, oat, or almond)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Vanilla bean powder or cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Fill your glass about ¾ full with ice cubes (preferably large cubes).
  2. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup over the ice.
  3. Pour 1 cup of cold brew concentrate (or chilled strong brewed coffee) slowly over the syrup and ice.
  4. Stir gently for about 10 seconds until the syrup is fully dissolved.
  5. Pour ½ cup of milk slowly over the coffee. For a layered look, do not stir; for a fully mixed latte, stir again for 5 seconds.
  6. Taste and adjust: add more milk if too strong, or more coffee if too sweet.
  7. Optional: top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla bean powder.

Notes

For best results, use cold brew concentrate labeled ‘smooth’ or ‘low acid’ to avoid bitterness. If using hot brewed coffee, cool it completely first to prevent dilution. Large ice cubes melt slower, keeping the latte strong. Store leftover latte (without ice) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; pour over fresh ice when ready to drink.
