A refreshing Vanilla Raspberry Iced Latte combining sweet raspberry puree with creamy milk and bold espresso or tea, perfect for a delightful chilled beverage.

Ingredients

Raspberry Puree

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries (60g)
  • 1 tbsp sugar or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tbsp water

Latte

  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml – dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 shot espresso OR ½ cup strong brewed tea (chai or black)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Extra raspberries
  • Mint leaves
  • Vanilla bean powder or specks

Instructions

  1. Make the raspberry puree: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, water, and sweetener if using. Simmer over low heat for 7 minutes, mashing the berries as they soften. Strain to remove seeds and let cool.
  2. Brew your base: While the puree cools, brew espresso or strong tea. Chill if needed.
  3. Assemble the drink: In a tall glass, spoon in raspberry puree. Fill with ice. Add brewed espresso or tea, milk of choice, and vanilla extract.
  4. Garnish and serve: Stir gently to mix. Top with fresh raspberries, mint, or vanilla specks if desired.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
  • Straining the raspberry puree ensures a smooth texture without seeds.
  • Chill espresso or tea beforehand for a more refreshing iced latte.
  • Plant-based milk works well for a vegan variation.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar or syrup.
