I took lemocurd's advice and changed it up a bit. I like my lattes sweet so I added sugar to taste to my coffee before adding the frothed milk and vanilla. I topped it with a bit a whipped cream. Made this way, it was as good or better than any vanilla latte I've ever had.

I gave this 3 stars. First of all I'm not a big hot latte person. Second I only had decaff. Dunkin Donuts freshly made coffee. I cut the recipe in half and made this as directed. I thought it needed to be sweetened so I added a tsp. of sugar. This did the trick this was not bad and it helped me use up some of my leftover coffee. Thanks for posting a good recipe.

This was good just a bit too foamy and bland for my taste. I will try it with more vanilla next time. Thanks for posting it.

I have been making tea and coffee in this way for some time now. The only difference is I add the coffee or tea to the mug, add sugar to taste and then top up with the vanilla flavoured foamed milk. For a specail drink try it with vanilla flavoured tea bag or honey vanilla tea bag. This makes a delicious and comforting drink.

This is a delicious warm and soothing drink! I used 100% Kona coffee, steamed the milk using my espresso machine and did add some sugar to taste. The added vanilla to my morning coffee is a tasty treat : ) Thanks, Melt!
