A refreshing Vanilla Raspberry Iced Latte that combines a sweet, tangy raspberry puree with creamy milk, espresso or strong tea, and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for a delightful iced beverage on warm days.

Ingredients

For the Raspberry Puree:

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

For the 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 the mixture to remove seeds and let it cool completely.
  2. Brew your base: While the puree cools, brew the espresso shot or prepare strong brewed tea (chai or black). Chill if needed to keep the drink refreshing.
  3. Assemble the drink: In a tall glass, spoon in the raspberry puree. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour in the brewed espresso or tea, followed by the milk of your choice, and add the vanilla extract.
  4. Garnish and serve: Stir gently to mix all the layers. Top with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, or vanilla bean powder for an extra touch of flavor and presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk and sweeten the raspberry puree with maple syrup.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar or syrup according to your taste.
  • The raspberry puree can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso or reduce the milk slightly.
  • For a caffeine-free option, use strong brewed chai or black tea instead of espresso.
  • Straining the puree is important to remove seeds and achieve a smooth texture.
