Ingredients
Syrup (If you don't have it already)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¾ tsp vanilla (optional)
Iced Latte
- 1 tbsp instant coffee (or espresso powder)
- 6 tbsp water
- ¾ cup milk plant-based for vegan
- 1.5 tbsp syrup
- ice
Instructions
To Make Caramel Syrup
- In a small saucepan, heat sugar on medium-low heat until the crystals start to dissolve. This will take some time, about 15-20 minutes so be patient. Stir or shake the pan to prevent burning.
- Once it's all dissolved and golden brown, add the water. It'll sputter so be careful!
- Stir the water and sugar together and continue to heat until the sugar is all dissolved.
- Remove from heat. Store remaining syrup in the fridge in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
To Make Vanilla Syrup
- Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil once the sugar is dissolved.
- Boil for about 5 minutes. Then remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
- Store remaining syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Iced Latte Assembly
- Start by dissolving the instant coffee or espresso powder in water. Make sure all crystals are dissolved. If you have an espresso maker, you can substitute this instead - make 2 shots.
- In a glass, add 1.5 tbsp of the syrup and milk. Then add ice.
- Pour the espresso shots over the top.
- Stir together and serve!
