Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Base

  • 1–2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

Syrups and Puree

  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tbsp fresh raspberry puree or raspberry syrup (strained for smoothness)

Milk

  • 3/4 cup cold milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, etc.)

Additional Ingredients

  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Optional whipped cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Brew Your Espresso: Start by brewing one or two shots of espresso using your preferred coffee machine or method. If you don’t have an espresso maker, a strong brewed coffee works well as an alternative. Set the coffee aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Blend fresh or thawed frozen raspberries until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. You may sweeten lightly if desired, but the natural tartness is key to the flavor.
  3. Mix the Syrups: In a tall glass, combine the vanilla syrup with the raspberry puree. Stir gently to blend the sweet and tart flavors evenly.
  4. Add Cold Milk and Coffee: Pour in your chosen cold milk, leaving some room for the espresso. Slowly pour the cooled espresso over the milk and syrup mixture, allowing the layers to mingle naturally. Add ice cubes on top to chill the drink perfectly.
  5. Stir and Garnish: Give your Vanilla Raspberry Iced Latte a gentle stir to combine all flavors smoothly. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a few fresh raspberries for an inviting finish.

Notes

  • Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cooler longer.
  • Adjust sweetness by starting with less vanilla syrup and adding more gradually.
  • Use fresh raspberries for a brighter flavor impact.
  • Use clear, fresh ice cubes to avoid diluting the drink as they melt.
  • Pour espresso slowly over the milk to achieve an attractive layered effect.
