Instructions

Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and open the bean to expose the seeds. Scrap the seeds from one end of the pod to the other. Use the dull side of the knife for smooth scrape. Separate the vanilla bean specks or seeds.
Add water and sugar to a pan and boil for 2-3 minutes or until all the sugar is dissolved. Add vanilla bean and seed into it. Cook it for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly. Let it cool once it is done for a few minutes. Once the syrup is cooled remove vanilla bean from the mixture and set it aside.
In a separate saucepan, add whole milk and 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup that we prepared. Cook it for 2-3 minutes and add the milk to a blender and blend it until milk is frothed or until the milk turns to a bubble form.
Take a latte cup and pour half the steamed milk that we froth. Add 2 espresso shots to the milk. Add the other half steamed milk on top. The French vanilla latte is ready to serve.

Notes

Medium or dark freshly roasted coffee beans will taste the best in a latte. This will affect the color of your espresso as well as your latte.
Brew a cup of coffee for a strong coffee flavor but the balance is necessary for the milk to espresso ratio. You can make it strong coffee by increasing the espresso shots. Maximum use 3 espresso shots if you prefer a strong coffee flavor.
Heat the milk properly. Remove the heat source before the milk begins to boil. Froth the milk with a handheld frother, a whisk, or a blender. Check the milk temperature as the best milk temperature is 70 degrees (160F).
Frothing the milk is the main step to getting the creamy texture of latte. Froth the milk until it forms a bubble appearance or feels foamy texture.
Create beautiful milk and espresso layers for a good appearance. First, add frothy milk, then espresso shots, and lastly topped with remaining frothy milk.
Serve immediately after making this French vanilla latte recipe to enjoy the fresh and warm flavor.
