The real magic of this recipe lies in the harmonious blend of vanilla and white chocolate flavors. The Monin Vanilla Syrup introduces a delicate, fragrant sweetness, while the Torani White Chocolate Sauce adds a rich, velvety creaminess that elevates the coffee’s taste. Combined with your choice of milk and the robust kick of espresso or coffee, this drink strikes the perfect balance between decadence and refreshment. Whether sipped as a morning indulgence or served as a treat for guests, this homemade iced coffee rivals any café creation.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Monin Vanilla Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Torani White Chocolate Sauce
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based options like almond, oat, or soy milk work well)
- 2 shots of espresso or 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
- Prepare the flavor base:
In a tall glass, add 1 tablespoon of Monin Vanilla Syrup and 1 tablespoon of Torani White Chocolate Sauce. Stir them together until fully combined. This mixture serves as the flavor foundation for the drink, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and creamy white chocolate flavor. - Add the ice:
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the milk and coffee. The ice will not only chill the drink but also create a layered effect when the coffee is poured over the milk. - Incorporate the milk:
Slowly pour 1 cup of your preferred milk over the ice and syrup mixture. Adjust the amount of milk to your liking, depending on how creamy you prefer your drink. - Brew the coffee:
If using espresso, prepare 2 shots of espresso. For a milder option, brew 1 cup of strong coffee. Freshly brewed coffee or espresso ensures the drink remains aromatic and full-bodied. - Layer the coffee:
Carefully pour the hot coffee or espresso over the back of a spoon into the glass. This technique helps maintain distinct layers, giving the drink a beautiful, professional look. - Mix and serve:
Optionally, give the drink a gentle stir to combine the flavors, or leave it layered for a stunning presentation. Add a straw, and enjoy your Vanilla White Chocolate Iced Coffee immediately. - Pro Tips:
- For added indulgence, top the drink with whipped cream and a drizzle of white chocolate sauce.
- Experiment with flavored syrups or sauces, like caramel or hazelnut, for a new twist.
- Use cold brew coffee instead of espresso for an ultra-smooth version of this drink.
Enjoy your café-style iced coffee, made right in the comfort of your home!
