Vanilla latte is my go-to Starbucks drink. Making the Starbucks run isn’t always feasible, so creating one at home just seemed like the right thing to do. The main ingredient is right in your cupboard: Vanilla Extract! Pour it in the milk, froth it up, and savor that better-than-Starbucks latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon in your PJs!
Now to the best part: espresso. Perhaps due to my coffee obsession, I love using my favorite coffee subscription, Trade Coffee, you’ll instantly receive the best beans completely tailored to your coffee palettes. Get your first free bag on me!
Vanilla Cinnamon Latte
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strong Coffee, single or double espresso shot
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon, ground
- ½ cup Milk of Choice
- 1 tsp Raw sugar (optional, for the sweet tooth)
Instructions
- Make a fresh cup of coffee or make either a single or a double shot of espresso.
- In a metal frother steamer cup, add the milk of choice, vanilla extract, ⅛ tsp of vanilla bean powder (optional), cinnamon, and raw sugar.
- Froth the milk mixture for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens to a nice, warm froth.
- Pour the frothed milk into your cup of espresso or strong coffee. Use either a cinnamon stick or a butter knife to swirl the coffee and latte. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, and enjoy!
Notes
Freshly ground beans are key to the best brew. Coffee subscriptions are awesome to fit your palette, and provide the freshest beans to a variety of different flavors and roasters in the US! GRINDING BEANS I LOVE grinding the beans right before brewing. Many coffee machines or espresso machines have a dual grinder and brewer, or you can buy single ones. I use a Trade Coffee subscription to get the freshest beans. You get 30% off your first subscription, plus free shipping!

Pumpkin Spice Latte
Fall rolls in and there’s nothing more delectable than a warm pumpkin spice latte. Rather than using processed pumpkin syrup, use real pumpkin puree and the natural flavors of maple syrup along with some kick-it-up-a-notch spices. Fall never tasted so good!

Amaretto Latte
Almond liquor not only sweetens, but it adds a subtle nuttiness that transforms any drink or dessert. One bottle of amaretto has a long shelf life, and a little amount goes a long way in flavor. This Amaretto Latte is sweet, and might I add, a whimsical Italian treat to upscale your average lattes at […]
Minty Oat Latte
Vegan lattes have become a new favorite of mine to whip up in the mornings. Oat milk stands out with its nutty flavors, and its thickness turns any latte into a creamy concoction. Pair it with condensed coconut milk, which is easily found in any grocery store, for an extra punch of sweetness. The mint […]
