Ingredients
Espresso Base
- 2 shots brewed espresso (2 to 3 oz), hot or cold
Other Ingredients
- Ice (enough to fill a 16 oz glass)
- 8 oz milk (any variety: dairy or plant-based)
- 2 oz raspberry syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Espresso: Brew 2 shots of espresso, either hot or cold, yielding about 2 to 3 ounces. Using freshly brewed espresso will provide the best flavor and caffeine kick.
- Fill Glass with Ice and Mix Espresso with Syrup: Fill a 16 oz glass with ice cubes. Pour the brewed espresso over the ice, then add 2 ounces of raspberry syrup. Stir well to combine the espresso and syrup evenly throughout the ice.
- Add Milk and Stir: Pour 8 ounces of your preferred milk variety into the glass. Stir thoroughly until the milk, espresso, and raspberry syrup are fully blended, creating a smooth and creamy iced latte.
Notes
- For extra vanilla flavor, use vanilla-flavored milk or add a splash of vanilla extract to the milk before adding it.
- Adjust the amount of raspberry syrup to taste if you prefer more or less sweetness.
- To make this drink dairy-free, opt for almond, oat, or soy milk.
- If you don’t have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can be used as a substitute.
