Ingredients & Substitutions
I really enjoy using unsweetened almond milk, but oat milk or soy milk works beautifully too! You can also adjust the sweetness; sometimes I just skip the maple syrup if my coffee is naturally sweet enough.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my vanilla extract in a dark glass bottle to help preserve its flavor longer.
- •If you want an even creamier latte, consider blending the milk mixture for a few seconds before pouring it in.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a dash of nutmeg for a different flavor profile.
- •You can also try adding a tablespoon of cacao powder for a mocha twist!
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the milk mixture in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake before using!
Frequently Asked Questions

Once the milk is warm (but not boiling!), remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon.
- 4
If you have a frother, feel free to froth the milk mixture for a lovely texture!

Pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mug, then gently pour in the vanilla milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Top with a dollop of coconut whipped cream if you’re feeling extra fancy, and maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
