Low Sugar Dairy Free Iced Vanilla Latte

Bold espresso shots meet a pour of dairy free milk over a full glass of ice, creating that classic marbled latte look right before you stir it all together. A quick homemade vanilla syrup, simmered on the stovetop and cooled before pouring, brings warm, rounded sweetness without any artificial aftertaste. It's an easy make-at-home version of your café order, ready in minutes and endlessly adjustable — add an extra splash of syrup if you like it sweeter, or ease off for a more coffee-forward sip. The espresso gets a few minutes to cool so it doesn't melt your ice too fast, keeping the drink cold and creamy from first sip to last. This one's a solid pick for an added sugar free routine, letting you control exactly how much sweetness goes into your glass.

Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
