Light and silky blonde espresso is used to make this blonde vanilla latte. It is inviting, soothing, and energising. You can buy a vanilla latte at Starbucks, but this is even better!
You won’t have to stand in line to receive it, and making that at home will save you a tonne of money, so I say it’s even better than Starbucks. Naturally, it tastes fantastic as well.
What is Blonde Vanilla Latte
Espresso, steaming, frothed milk, and optional flavouring make up a latte. Blonde espresso is used to make a latte that is flavoured with vanilla syrup. In a moment, we’ll discuss what blonde espresso is.
A Blonde Vanilla Latte is a delicious coffee beverage made with a smooth and light espresso called “Blonde” combined with creamy milk and a touch of sweet vanilla flavor. It offers a balanced and delightful taste, perfect for those who prefer a milder coffee experience with a hint of sweetness.
How to Make a Blond Vanilla Latte at Starbucks
It’s very simple and straightforward to prepare this blond vanilla latte at home.

- You then froth the milk.
- Last but not least, fill your mug with milk, coffee, and vanilla syrup.
- Like I said, easy!
Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte: What Is It?
The only difference between an Iced Vanilla Latte and an Ice Blond Vanilla Latte is that the latter uses Starbucks blond espresso in place of regular espresso.
Espresso beans that haven’t been roasted for as long are known as blonde espresso. They are hence less bitter and oily.
As a result, the coffee has a gentler crema and is less smokey.
Equipment
Espresso shots are used in Starbucks’ Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte, which calls for some sort of espresso equipment. This recipe can, however, be prepared without one.
It’s important to remember that normal coffee won’t have the same intensity as espresso shots. In order to achieve the same flavour profile as the original, you will need to use a little bit more coffee and a little bit less milk.
What equipment you’ll require:
- A 16-ounce cup or glass
- A stirring spoon
- A coffee maker
Ingredients
There are only a few things needed to make an Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte. What you’ll need for this recipe is:
- Ice
- 2 to 3 cups of the milk of your choice
- 2 shots of espresso in the blonde roast.
- 2 tablespoons of Starbuck Vanilla Syrup or 1/4 cup of homemade vanilla syrup
Step-by-Step Guidelines
It’s time to start preparing your iced latte once you have all of the components.
What you should do is:
- Fill a 16-ounce cup with vanilla syrup.
- Make some coffee. You can use the blonde roast beans for coffee from Starbucks. Alternately, use two Starbucks blonde roast Nespresso capsules if you possess a Nespresso machine.
- Fill your coffee cup with your freshly prepared blonde coffee or espresso shots.
- Pour in the milk. You can substitute any milk you like for the 2% milk that Starbucks uses.
- Add ice to the ready latte.
- Stir, then savour!
What components make up the Starbucks Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte?
Ice, 2% milk, 4 pumps of chocolate syrup, and 2 shots of blonde espresso are all included in a grande-sized beverage.
Why should I use filtered ice instead than tap water while making ice?
Water will be cleaner and tastier if there are less contaminants in it. All of Starbucks’ beverages are made using triple-filtered water, and the ice is also made with the same water.
What distinguishes Iced Vanilla Latte from Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte?
The beverages are identical, however the Iced Vanilla Latte is made using Starbucks trademark espresso, which is a dark roast, while the Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte is prepared with blonde espresso (light roast).
How to make it without an espresso maker
If you don’t own an espresso maker, the next best choice would be to brew some really strong coffee. It won’t be exactly the same, but will work in a pinch.
Additionally, you might use instant coffee. You only need to add hot water to the powdered version of it. Although it would not be my first choice, it is still a possibility for you to think about.
Substitute milks
There are several milks you might want to take into account for your beverage, regardless of whether you favour the Blonde Vanilla Latte or the classic Vanilla Latte. Starbucks frequently sells milk substitutes like almond milk and coconut milk.
• Acorn milk
- Tofu milk
You can tailor your latte to your tastes and dietary needs by choosing a milk alternative that best suits your preferences and nutritional needs. For instance, a latte using almond milk often has less calories and less sugar.
Conclusion
