Equipment

  • Tall glass
  • Stirring spoon
  • Measuring cup
  • Ice scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 20 ml French Vanilla Syrup
  • 15 ml Espresso Syrup
  • 160 grams ice
  • 150 ml cold water

Instructions
 

  • Prepare The Base
    First, you need to create a solid base for your Iced Vanilla Americano. Start by gathering your ingredients. You will need:
    150 ml of cold water
    20 ml of French Vanilla Syrup
    160 grams of ice
    Begin by pouring 150 ml of cold water into a glass. This will be the main liquid for your drink. Next, mix in 20 ml of French Vanilla Syrup. This syrup adds a smooth and sweet taste to your drink.
  • Add The Vanilla Flavor
    Now that you have prepared the base, it is time to add more flavor. You can use store-bought syrup or make your own.
    To enhance the vanilla flavor, consider these options:
    Use different types of vanilla syrup, such as homemade.
    Add a dash of vanilla extract for a stronger taste.
    Mix in a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
    Once you have decided on your flavor, pour the vanilla syrup into the glass with the cold water. Stir it gently to combine.
  • Chill With Ice
    Now it's time to chill your drink. Ice is essential for an Iced Vanilla Americano. It keeps your drink cool and refreshing.
    Take 160 grams of ice and add it to the glass. You can use ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on your preference. The ice will cool down the drink instantly.
    As the ice melts, it may dilute the drink slightly. To avoid this, use larger ice cubes. They melt more slowly.
  • Finish With Espresso
    The last step is to add the espresso. This gives your Iced Vanilla Americano a bold coffee kick. Use good quality espresso for the best flavor.
    Pour in 15 ml of Espresso Syrup into the glass with your mixture. The espresso syrup will add a rich coffee taste. Stir it gently to mix everything together.
    Take a moment to enjoy the aroma. The sweet vanilla and bold coffee smell will be inviting. Once mixed, your drink is ready to enjoy!
