What You’ll Need

1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
1 cup ice cubes
Optional: crushed almonds for topping

Tools You’ll Need

Blender
Measuring cups and spoons
Tall glass or mason jar
Straw (optional but more fun!)

Pro Tips

Cool your coffee first. Hot coffee will melt the ice too fast and water it down.
Use good vanilla. Pure vanilla extract makes a big difference in flavor.
Adjust the sweetness. Start with less sweetener, then add more if needed.
Double it. Make a double batch if you know everyone will want a sip!
Top it off. A little crushed almond on top makes it feel extra special.

Substitutions and Variations

Use oat milk or regular milk instead of almond milk.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a protein-packed version.
Try hazelnut extract instead of vanilla for a different flavor twist.
Use decaf coffee for a kid-friendly treat!

Make Ahead Tips

Brew your coffee the night before and keep it in the fridge so it’s ready to go!

Instructions

Step 1: Brew your coffee and let it cool.

Brew 1 cup of coffee and let it sit until it’s cooled to room temp or chill it faster in the fridge.

Step 2: Add coffee, almond milk, vanilla, sweetener, and ice to blender.

Pour the cooled coffee, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 cup ice cubes into a blender.

Step 3: Blend until smooth.

Blend on high speed until the ice is crushed and the drink looks frothy and smooth.

Step 4: Pour into a glass and top with crushed almonds.

Pour your frozen latte into a tall glass and sprinkle with a few crushed almonds if you want.

Leftovers and Storage

Best when fresh!
If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge for a few hours, but it will melt and lose that frozen texture.
You can re-blend it with a few extra ice cubes to freshen it up!
