A Tasty Vanilla Latte on a College Student Budget!!
As a Starbucks addict I noticed that I was spending near 30-40 dollars a week just getting coffees at Starbucks. For Christmas I got an espresso percolator and set out on a mission to create delicious and affordable "designer" coffees!

This is my version of the Starbucks/Barnies/Richards Vanilla Latte on a college student budget.

It really is ridiculously easy to make!

ENJOY!

Step 1
These are the tools you will need for this recipe:

Preferred glass
Espresso
French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
Fat free or 1% Milk (any other milk makes it too thick)
A small measuring cup (got this one at Walmart)
A Spoon
(little green alien and container of dog cookies in background optional)
Step 2
First, you start out with the espresso... really the brand doesn't matter that much. It's all your preference.
I prefer Pilon & Cafe Bustelo. These two are inexpensive (around $2.50 each) and don't have that distinct "burnt" taste that some espressos do.
Brew a single pot (my percolator brews about 10 oz) for the first step.
Step 3
After you've brewed your espresso measure out 3oz in your little measuring cup and add it to your glass.
Step 4
Next measure 2.5oz of the French Vanilla Creamer and add it on top of your espresso.
Step 5
Then, measure out and add 3oz fat free or 1% Milk to your mixture.
Step 6
Stir it all together add ice and a straw and you're ready to go!

You can get pretty creative with this base process. I've added whipped cream and chocolate syrup to this one time to make a creamy mocha latte. The possibilities are endless.

Let me know what you think!
