### Vanilla Latte Recipe: Make Your Own Vanilla Syrup for Authentic Flavor

難易度: beginner / 時間: 10分 / 分量: 1 serving

**材料**

- エスプレッソ:30ml
- ミルク:200ml

**手順**

1. Brew Espresso
2. Add Vanilla Syrup
3. Add Milk
4. Garnish


## Ingredients (Serves 1)


> ℹ️ **INFO**
>
> **Ingredients**
> 
> - 1–2 shots espresso (30–60ml)
> - 150–200ml whole milk
> - 1–2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
> - Ice cubes (for iced version)


## Equipment Needed

- Espresso machine or Moka pot
- Milk frother or steam wand
- Cup or glass

## Instructions

### Step 1: Brew Espresso

Pull 1–2 shots of espresso.

### Step 2: Add Vanilla Syrup

Place vanilla syrup in the bottom of the cup. Pour hot espresso over it and stir to combine.

### Step 3: Add Milk

**Hot version**: Steam 150–200ml of milk to around 65°C and pour over the espresso.

**Iced version**: Fill a glass with ice and cold milk, then pour the syrup-espresso mixture over the top.

### Step 4: Garnish

Dust with cinnamon or vanilla powder if desired.


> 💡 **TIP**
>
> **Add syrup to the cup first**: The heat from the espresso dissolves the syrup instantly and evenly. Adding it after the milk makes it harder to mix fully.


## Homemade Vanilla Syrup — Quick Version (Vanilla Extract)


> ℹ️ **INFO**
>
> **Ingredients**
> 
> - Granulated sugar: 100g
> - Water: 100ml
> - Vanilla extract: 1–2 teaspoons


**Instructions**:
1. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat
2. Stir until sugar dissolves completely — do not over-boil
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before stirring in vanilla extract
4. Pour into a jar and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks

## Homemade Vanilla Syrup — Premium Version (Vanilla Beans)


> ℹ️ **INFO**
>
> **Ingredients**
> 
> - Granulated sugar: 150g
> - Water: 150ml
> - Vanilla beans: 1 pod


**Instructions**:
1. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds
2. Add sugar, water, vanilla seeds, and the pod to a small saucepan
3. Heat until sugar dissolves, then simmer gently for 5 minutes
4. Remove from heat, let cool, discard the pod, and bottle the syrup

Vanilla bean syrup keeps refrigerated for about 1 month and has a noticeably richer aroma.


> ⚠️ **注意**
>
> **Don't discard used vanilla pods**: Place them in your sugar jar to create vanilla-scented sugar for baking and coffee.


## Variations

**Cold foam vanilla latte**: Froth cold milk and spoon it on top for a Starbucks cold foam-style texture.

**Vanilla iced latte**: Use extra syrup and plenty of ice for a sweet summer treat.

**Vanilla oat latte**: Swap dairy milk for oat milk — the natural sweetness of oat milk pairs beautifully with vanilla.

## Common Mistakes and Fixes

**Weak vanilla flavor**: Use more extract or switch to a vanilla bean syrup. Extract quality varies significantly by brand.

**Too sweet**: Reduce syrup to 1 tablespoon and add a second shot of espresso for more balance.

## Summary

- Homemade vanilla syrup takes **10 minutes** with sugar, water, and vanilla extract
- **Vanilla bean syrup** is unmatched in aroma and worth the extra effort for special occasions
- Always add syrup to the **bottom of the cup first** for even mixing
- Pairs wonderfully with oat milk, almond milk, or any plant-based alternative
