Ingredients
Scale
Drink Ingredients
- ½ cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons raspberry puree
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract + sweetener
- Ice cubes
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Fresh raspberries
- Crushed freeze-dried raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Puree: If not using store-bought puree, make your own by blending fresh or frozen raspberries until smooth. Chill the puree before using to keep your drink refreshing.
- Brew and Chill Your Coffee: Brew 2 shots of espresso or a strong ½ cup of coffee using your preferred method such as an espresso machine, French press, or stovetop moka pot. Allow the coffee to cool completely to avoid melting the ice prematurely.
- Assemble the Drink: In a tall glass, add 2 tablespoons of chilled raspberry puree followed by 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup (or vanilla extract with sweetener). Fill the glass with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Pour the Milk: Add ½ cup of your milk of choice over the ice and raspberry mixture, then gently stir to combine the flavors evenly throughout the drink.
- Add the Coffee: Slowly pour the chilled espresso or brewed coffee into the glass to create a beautiful layered effect that enhances the visual appeal.
- Garnish and Serve: Optional: Top your iced latte with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or crushed freeze-dried raspberries for extra flavor and an attractive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vanilla Raspberry Iced Latte.
Notes
- Use chilled coffee to maintain the ice and avoid dilution.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by modifying vanilla syrup or sweetener amounts.
- For vegan versions, choose plant-based milk and whipped cream alternatives.
- Raspberry puree can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Experiment with different types of milk to vary creaminess and flavor.
