Iced Vanilla Macchiato

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I absolutely love a good iced vanilla macchiato in the morning.

It's a coffee house-style beverage with vanilla, made with ice, espresso, syrup and milk for a deliciously smooth taste.

Try this recipe once and you'll be skipping the coffee shop!
