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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
