- Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Let cool then store in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator.

MAKE THE LATTE:
- Brew your coffee as you normally do, but don't be afraid to add an extra scoop. If you grind your own beans, even better!
- Pour syrup into bottom of good sized coffee mug.
- In a glass measuring cup, pour in milk.
- Using a frother, froth cold milk until good and foamy. If you don't have a frother, use your blender as though you were making a frappe.
- Microwave milk for about 20 seconds (watch carefully so it doesn't overflow) until the you see the foam expanding (depending on your microwave this may take longer).
- Add milk to syrup and cup.
- Pouring down the inside of the cup so as not to disturb the milk, pour desired amount of coffee.
- Top with a sprinkling of vanilla-infused raw sugar.

Yum, yum, yum, one for each component of this tasty drink. Really worth the extra effort. All three items together create a memorable drink. So much flavor, I really enjoyed this tasty treat. The Syrup was fragrant and sweet, the raw sugar was the bomb, I love the consistency of it, like flavored icing sugar, so good and the latte was devine. A perfect rememdy for my poor headache. Thanks so much for sharing another winner, my friend, I'll be making this all week.
