• Start by brewing your espresso shots using your preferred espresso making method. If using Instant Espresso, combine the powder with warm water and mix until dissolved using a spoon or milk frother.
• In a cup, combine the vanilla syrup and espresso, then stir to combine.
• Pour in the milk over the espresso mixture, and then add ice.

Strawberry Cold Foam

• In a separate small cup, combine strawberry syrup, 2% milk and heavy cream. Froth the mixture using a handheld milk frother until it becomes thick and creamy.
• Once the cold foam is thick, pour it over the iced blonde vanilla latte.
• OPTIONAL: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the top of the cold foam and pair the drink with a pink cake pop!

Homemade Vanilla Syrup

• Combine sugar, water, and salt in a small saucepan and stir to combine.
• Bring the mixture to a roaring boil.
• Once boiling, lower the heat to medium low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from the heat, add in the vanilla extract, and stir to combine.
• Use the syrup in any drink right away, or let the syrup cool completely before transferring to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
