Today my mother and I went on a quest to design the perfect homemade vanilla latte. We didn't have any fancy equipment like an espresso machine or a foaming wand (whatever that is). If we could make this, so can you...ENJOY!!!
Vanilla Latte Recipe
INGREDIENTS
Vanilla Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Coffee
2 heaping tbs coffee
16oz water
Milk
1 1/4 cup milk
WHAT TO DO...
Coffee
Double brew coffee with the water (this means once you brew the coffee for the first time, pour that coffee where the water usually goes and run the coffee maker again).
Vanilla Syrup
Pour sugar and water into a pot and turn stove on high. Stir mixture until water starts to boil and is clear. Once water is boiling, take pot off heat and add vanilla extract. Let sit while foaming the milk. (it is important that you let the vanilla syrup sit because you need to have the alcohol evaporate)
Milk
Pour milk into large bowl. Microwave milk until hot but not boiling (abt 1 min). With a mixer, mix milk for aprox. 1 min until there is a substantial amount of foam on top.
Measure 3/4 cup of coffee. Split this coffee into two coffee mugs. Put 1 1/2 tbs of the vanilla syrup in each mug and stir. Distribute evenly the milk, leaving the foam in the bowl. Lastly, spoon foam on top of each mug.
Wow that sounds so yummy!
