Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

2 shots espresso. I have this espresso machine and it changed my life. There are many more inexpensive espresso machines! You can add another shot if you like a super strong vanilla latte. Or, you can substitute ½ cup of strong brewed coffee for the espresso, or use instant espresso powder.
Milk. Whole milk, half and half, and coconut milk are my top recommendations.
Vanilla extract. you can use vanilla simple syrup in place of the extract and honey. Or, use vanilla bean paste or powder.
Honey. granulated sugar, simple syrup or maple syrup are all great substitutes.

Store

Store leftover latte it in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Then, enjoy it as an iced latte later or reheat it in the microwave. No, the milk won't be frothy. Yes, it will still taste good and you won't waste ingredients.
