How to Make Your Own Vanilla Latte Syrup Like Starbucks
want to make your own vanilla latte syrup? need a quick fix because your out of store bought syrup? Well I have a recipe here, and I tell you you would never know the difference between starbucks or home made, my family can't! Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
-
-
1
1 Cup water
1 Cup Sugar (if you want it sweeter use 2 C sugar, I only use 1 and it's sweet enough for me, I'm not a hummingbird LOL)
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract -
2
bring water and sugar to a boil, stir until sugar is dissolved and water is clear
-
-
3
remove from heat and add vanilla extract immediately, this will burn off the alcohol in the vanilla extract since it is hot, but still keep the vanilla flavor
-
4
let cool, and then put in a storage container, I use 1/8 Cup of syrup for a normal coffee cup size of latte, add or decrease to your own taste, you can also double this recipe to make more on hand

Tips & Warnings
you can buy the pump mechanisms that starbucks uses on their containers from starbucks themselves just ask....what I did was purchase a large bottle of vanilla and the pump, and ask them how many pump do they put in a tall, grande, and venti, and how many ounces is each cup, then when I cam home, I check how many ounces my cup is, and converted it, then made my own syrup from then on out :-D

Ah...you are a genius! I LOVE vanilla latte and started making them at home, but the syrup is quite expensive. I'm going to try this tonight with stevia or splenda...I can't wait! -
