Temple Coffee Copycat Creations: Vanilla Latte

Temple coffee may be new in town, but it has quickly gained popularity due to its gourmet drinks and fresh, modern aesthetic. It’s the perfect place to have tea with a friend, sip a latte while studying, or enjoy the aroma of fresh brewed coffee—that takes up to 8 hours to brew.

This recipe is a recreation of Temple’s Vanilla Latte and is easily just as delicious as the real thing, but about ten times cheaper. With only 3 ingredients you can create a delicious and beautiful treat that won’t break the bank.

Vanilla Latte

• Prep Time:5 minutes
• Cook Time:5 minutes
• Total Time:10 minutes
• Servings:1
• Medium

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Step 1

  Assuming you don’t own a milk frother, begin by combining your milk and vanilla in a jar or other container with a tight lid. Seal the lid on and shake for 2-4 minutes, or until the milk is foamy on top. Microwave for 30 seconds.

  

• Step 2

  Next prepare your coffee or espresso and make sure it is hot.

  

• Step 3

  Pour the milk from the jar into your cup of coffee, but use a spoon to hold back the foam from pouring into the cup.

  

• Step 4

  Carefully spoon the frothed milk onto the top of your latte and smooth over the surface.

  

• Step 5

  If you are feeling creative, use a skewer, chopstick or tooth pick to draw a design in your latte, or dust some cocoa power on top.

  

• Step 6

  Sip and enjoy.
