Since this recipe is meant to be enjoyed fresh, it’s best to prepare it just before serving. If you have leftover milk froth, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a short period and reheated. However, the ice may dilute the flavors, so it’s recommended to make it fresh for the best experience.
FAQs
Can I make this recipe with decaffeinated espresso?
Yes, you can easily substitute decaf espresso for regular espresso if you prefer a lower caffeine option.
Is there a way to make this recipe sugar-free?

Can I use a different milk for frothing?
Absolutely! Feel free to use any type of milk you prefer, such as oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly depending on the milk you choose.
How do I froth the milk without a frother?

How can I adjust the sweetness of this latte?
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less monk fruit brown sugar or honey, depending on how sweet you like your drinks.
Can I use regular vanilla syrup instead of sugar-free vanilla syrup?
Yes, you can use regular vanilla syrup if you prefer, though it will add more sugar to the drink.
Can I make this drink iced or hot?
This recipe is designed for an iced latte, but if you prefer a hot version, just skip the ice and pour the warm frothed milk over the espresso mixture.
