Pro Tips for the Perfect Vanilla Latte

• Espresso Base: Use freshly brewed Joey Dees Bittersweet Dark Ground Coffee for the richest flavor. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a strong coffee or a moka pot brew works well.
• Vanilla Syrup: Homemade vanilla syrup adds an extra layer of freshness, however store-bought options are both convenient and delicious.
• Milk Frothing: For that silky, creamy texture, froth your milk to your favorite consistency. Full fat milk creates a velvety foam, while skim milk offers a lighter texture.
• Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an extra dash of flavor and aroma.

Recipe Variations

• Iced Vanilla Latte: Simply pour the ingredients over ice for a refreshing, chilled version.
• Vanilla Almond Latte: Swap regular milk with almond milk for a nutty twist that pairs beautifully with vanilla.
• Caramel Vanilla Latte: Add a drizzle of caramel for an indulgent caramel-vanilla combo.
