Brew a shot of espresso using your espresso machine or a strong coffee if you don't have an espresso maker.
While the espresso is brewing, steam the milk until it's hot and frothy. If you don’t have a milk steamer, heat the milk in a saucepan until it’s steamy and froth using a whisk.
Pour the shot of espresso into your favorite mug.
Add the steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon to pour it on top later.
Stir in the vanilla syrup to combine the espresso and milk.
Top the latte with the leftover milk foam or add whipped cream for an extra treat.
Sweeten with sugar if desired, and enjoy your homemade vanilla latte.
