I love Starbucks! I sometimes wish they delivered... which lead me to trying to figure out how to re-create some of my favorite drinks from there... Iced vanilla soy lattes are perfect for summer!!
You will need:
Strong Coffee - I like Starbucks Espresso Roast
Milk of your choice
Ice
Vanilla coffee syrup
(I have heard you can use pure vanilla extract and 1 tsp of sugar as a substitute)
Sweetener of your choice
Big cup and a straw :)
To make it is super simple! I have a Keurig machine, so I make about 4oz of coffee using 2 tablespoons of grounds. I know you're thinking that is not enough water, but you add so much ice to cool it that if you add too much water you end up with a very yuckie mix (believe me I tried). After the coffee is brewed, I add about 2 tablespoons of vanilla coffee syrup, sweetener, soy milk til its the color I like (pretty blonde), and LOTS of ice! Stir and enjoy :)
On cold gloomy days, just toss out the ice and add in a milk frother and you have yourself a lovely latte!
Happy first day of summer!!!!

Yummm....can't wait to get out of the office pick Cookie up from the vet and grab an iced coffee!
ReplyDeleteI have been OBESESSED with making soy lattes lately. Sooo much cheaper than going to Starbucks. I'm really loving Dunkin' Dounuts brand coffee!
