Monday mornings call for an extra shot of espresso, don't you think? This iced vanilla rosemary latte is made with rosemary simple syrup, and I honestly can't think of a better way to kick off the week.

This recipe is 100% inspired by a latte I had at DiAnoia's Eatery here in Pittsburgh -- it was love at first sip and I knew I hate to recreate it!

Ingredient notes

Sugar - granulated/cane is best

Rosemary - around a 4" sprig is what you want

Vanilla / vanilla bean - using a combination of vanilla bean and vanilla extra is going to result in the best vanilla flavor; however, you can omit the vanilla bean if you don't want to buy them (they're a tad pricey!)

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Make the simple syrup. Add sugar, water, rosemary, vanilla bean, and vanilla extract to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes. Pour syrup through a mesh strainer and wait until it cools before using.

Step 2: Make your latte. Add simple syrup to the bottom of a glass, then add ice, milk and pour espresso over top.

Tips & FAQs

  • You don't have to add the vanilla bean. The vanilla bean will add more vanilla flavor to the drink, but they're a tad pricey, so if you don't want to buy them you can omit them.

How long will the simple syrup last?

Honestly? A long time! Just store it in a jar with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 30 days, though I'm sure it tastes good even past that.

What kind of milk should I use?

Any kind! I love using oat milk in lattes, but any kind of milk will pair well with the simple syrup.

What if I don't have an espresso machine?

You don't have to make a latte. This simple syrup is delicious in cold brew, or even in your usual cup of hot coffee.

    Yummy! I didn't know whether rosemary would pair well with coffee but it does.
