Frequently Asked Questions
Totally up to you, they are delicious both ways!
They are two different methods of making coffee. Cold brew is made by mixing the coffee grounds and water, and letting them sit overnight. Iced coffee is simple hot coffee and letting it cool - usually over ice. Cold brew is usually stronger and tastes better for longer.
Nope! Many grocery stores sell it in cartons these days - making it super easy!
Yes definitely. It just depends on your taste!
Yes for sure - you'll want to use more milk if you're after a latte though, and make sure it's heated through!
How to Make Coffee with Vanilla Syrup
First up - if you're making your own vanilla syrup, do that! It really doesn't take long, but the flavor develops more the longer you let it steep.
Let's make the iced version first.
Ingredients
My favorite ingredient lists are ones with five items or less. This is one of those. YAY!
- Coffee (Cold brew, iced, or hot)
- Vanilla Syrup
- Cream (or your favorite type of dairy/non-dairy product)
Making Iced Coffee with Vanilla Syrup
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cold brew or cooled coffee you're using (about 1 cup).
Add two tablespoons (or whatever level of sweetness you prefer) of the vanilla syrup. Stir to combine.
Add a dash (again, amount is your choice) of your favorite creamer or dairy product to the glass. My favorite for this drink is half and half, but you can definitely use anything you want!
Fill your glass with ice. Then add your coffee. Next, add your vanilla syrup and stir. Finish it off with some cream.
Making Hot Coffee with Vanilla Syrup
This is even easier than the iced one, if possible.
Make your morning coffee as you like it. Pour yourself a cup in a mug.
Add about 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup (or to taste).
Add your favorite creamer (or not, it's also great black with just the syrup!)
Enjoy!
How Do I Make it a Vanilla Latte?
It's pretty similar actually, with a few key differences.
For a latte, you need espresso as a base rather than coffee (although I've definitely been known to just brew a strong pot of coffee and use that as well).
After that you need steamed (or warm milk) to fill up that mug.
Finally, add your vanilla syrup (as much as you want) and enjoy!
Can I make this Sugar Free?
Totally. In this case I would recommend buying the sugar-free syrup, just to keep it easier on yourself.
