Thank you so much @alienoresimagines for your extremely inspiring ask ♥️

“Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them’’

- W. Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

John wakes slowly, rubbing his face on the pillow and blinking a few times, blearily taking in his surroundings before remembering where he is; in the New York apartment where he's going to spend the next six weeks of shows. An apartment paid for him by the company, if he may brag — and oh how much he likes being spoiled for doing exactly what he loves.

A pleasant ache echoes through his body, one of physical exertion in order to perfect his craft, and he stretches, shifting on the mattress until his bones and muscles start singing their soreness. Then he rolls on the side and partakes in his favorite morning activity: staring at his fiancé as he sleeps soundly right beside him.

His movements have not stirred Gale, who's still sleeping with half his face buried in the pillow, blonde hair sticking up in every direction like a messy halo and eyelashes so long and thick they brush against the soft skin of his cheekbones. He has one arm tucked under the pillow and the other one outstretched towards John, fingertips grazing his forearm. John cradles Gale's hand in his and places a soft kiss at the center of its palm, looking at him with a reverence that would surely make him blush if he was awake. He's not, though, and John doesn't find it in his heart to rouse him; they got back pretty late last night after the celebratory Opening Night dinner, and the past few days have been very stressful for both of them, John rehearsing for hours every day and Gale keeping him company in the theatre and going through his lines at the apartment — just like old times.

He's only managed to get a week off from school and today is his fifth day here; two more and he'll have to go back and John will be left alone in the apartment for six more weeks surviving only on video calls and good morning texts — and math puns, obviously.

John's tempted to roll him over in this obnoxiously large bed and wake him up in the best way possible, with hot kisses and a hand between his legs to get to the only thing better than Opening Night celebratory sex — that is The Morning After celebratory sex — but Gale really looks too soft and content to be disturbed. So, John resorts to his second favorite Morning After activity: searching the World Wide Web for opinions and reviews.

He shuffles out of bed, puts on a t-shirt and some pants and walks groggily to the kitchen. Despite living here for a little more than a month he's still not very familiar with the layout and organization of the apartment so it takes him a while to find the coffee maker and to open the right cabinet where Gale put the ground beans when he got there, but then he finally settles on a tall barstool with a steamy cup in hand — with almond milk because Gale got him hooked — and starts browsing.

He finds reviews from some of the major theatre magazines and he's relieved to read that the show was largely appreciated in all his aspects, from the direction to the set design and the costumes. Someone has even pointed out his performance as the highlight of the show, which has him giggle like a serious, professional actor shouldn't do; he can't help it, sometimes when someone tells him that he's good at what he does he still has to pinch himself to be sure that this isn't some years long dream.

When he's satisfied with the professional reviews he moves to the social medias to hear the feedback from the fans; TikToks, tweets, everyone seems to have enjoyed the show. There are even a few pictures he's taken with fans at the stage door, he finds them on Instagram and grins at the captions from his fan pages — he has fan pages, can you believe that?!

It's on Instagram that he finds the most interesting thing, an article that makes him spit out his coffee from its title only.

If you thought John Egan was hot, wait until you see his boyfriend!

Cold sweat gathers at the nape of his neck. The article comes from one of those damned gossip pages filled with paparazzi pics and fake news and that's probably what happened, he thinks trying to reassure himself, they must have taken some pics of him and Curt hugging outside the theatre. It can't be Gale because they're always very careful with their PDA, especially around shows when the paps are more likely out to get him. Yes, that must be it; they're gonna have a laugh about it and all will be fine, he thinks as he opens the link.

He's immediately greeted by a picture of him and Gale kissing outside a restaurant.

Fuck.

They haven't been careful enough, they didn't think the paps would follow them to the small, basically unknown restaurant they'd chosen for the celebration dinner and so they kissed on the sidewalk. Still, the picture is pretty blurry, Gale being barely more than a blond smudge of pixels, he could be anyone.

The relief lasts less than three seconds before he notices that it's the first of a series: there's another blurry kiss, then one or two of himself as he waves to someone inside the restaurant, and finally one of just Gale, clear enough to make out most of his features — his proud smile, the glint in his eyes, the mop of blond hair, the cut of his cheekbones.

Again, fuck.

John belatedly remembers the title of the article, about how hot his boyfriend is. Suddenly, all the worries about the article itself vanish replaced by a simmering anger: how dare people think they can judge Gale? He swears to god, if someone's written on the damn internet that Gale, his Gale, is ugly they're gonna have to deal with John's wrath.

He opens the comments, ready to be properly pissed. What he finds is... surprising.

Who's that??? Where was Egan keeping him???

Despite himself, John snorts. He thinks of Gale teaching algebra to high schoolers while John rehearses on a stage, of him cooking terrible dinners for John to comfort him when he gets home. Home, that's where he's keeping him.

How did Egan manage to bag a guy like that?? 🥵

He laughs less now, frowning, honestly offended by this gratuitous rudeness — Gale would find it amusing though, so he refrains to comment back.

Do they need a third? 😜

John huffs — as if. They've had enough troubles managing a relationship between just the two of them, they're definitely not the sharing type.

Does he like girls too? 🙄

No he definitely doesn't, thank you very much.

OMG HE'S SO HOT

John grins mischievously at this one; yes, his boyfriend is hot, John knows it. He's getting even hotter as he grows older — there's some grey in his blond hair, so pale it's barely noticeable for anyone but John, who doesn't miss a chance to remind him of it bragging about his luscious, still completely brown locks. He's oddly proud that some random Instagram user finds him hot too, he could print out the comment and put it on their fridge for the moments when Gale feels down.

Aw what a nice couple 🥹🥹

Butterflies rouse in John's stomach and he finds himself blushing slightly at this comment, smiling like when someone compliments his acting. They're the two most important things in his life after all, acting and Gale; he's glad someone can see how much in love they are just from some blurry pictures.

Egan needs to have him cast in something!! I need to see that pretty face more often

To this one, John laughs out loud. Yeah, he wants to comment, been there, done that. Unless that guy is interested in minor, local performances, he's not going to see Gale's face on stage any time soon.

He hears a sudden noise from the bedroom, sign that Gale's woken up; the worry comes back, a gnawing sensation in the pit of his stomach. He'll have to show Gale the pictures, that's for sure, but how is he going to react? He's probably gonna be pissed, as he should.

John is going to pressure to have the pictures removed if Gale asks, of course, but by now they've already been seen by hundreds if not thousands of people; this is surely going to freak him out, hugely. He's so private, even the news of their engagement has been kept a secret to everyone who's not close family — John still wears the ring every day just not on his finger, but on a chain around his neck. What if this sudden exposure to the public makes him reconsider it? He's always said he's ok with John being a more public figure than him, but maybe...

No, John thinks shaking his head. He won't go there. They're not who they were at the beginning of their relationship anymore, they've grown together past the part where a single doubt could destroy everything. They're going to talk about it, plently, and decide together what to do.

He pours another cup of coffee and waits for Gale to pad barefoot to the kitchen, yawning ans with his hair all askew — he wonders what his fans would think of him now, as natural as he comes. For John, he's still the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.

"Morning darlin'," Gale drawls. "How are the reviews?"

John smirks, passing him the coffee. "They're good, but the thing that's making the most numbers online this morning is you, love!"

Gale smiles, confused. "Are you practicing your math puns?"

"Come take a look," John simply answers, sliding his phone towards him. Gale picks it up, more confused, and his eyes widen as he takes in the pictures. "Those fuckers!" He says, outraged. "They followed us to the restaurant?"

"Maybe, or maybe one of them was simply passing by and took his chance. Read the comments, come on."

As he reads, Gale blushes in a way John finds utterly adorable. "They think I'm hot?" He asks.

John nods, solemnly. "That you are babe, that you are. Look, I'm gonna cal Lil later, tell her to work her magic to have those removed. She's my agent, that's what I hired her for and I know she's good with this kind of thing."

"Why do you want to remove them?"

It's John's turn to be confused. "Well it's a violation of our privacy, and I though you'd be pretty pissed about them," he says tentatively.

Gale nods, sipping his coffee. "It is a violation and I'm pissed at those paps, they should get a life and not bother ours. But the pictures are out, and by now they must have been seen by anyone. I don't think it would matter to have them removed. Besides, I kinda like the way people talk about us in the comments," he admits, still slightly blushing. "They're not judging, they like us."

"They like you," John points out.

"Yeah, but they also like us as a couple. See? Most comments are about us!"

"And that doesn't bother you?" John asks, perplexed.

"Well, it had to come up sooner or later, didn't it? I would have preferred to have more of a say in how and when, but since it happened..."

"So let me get this straight, you want us to be out in public, on the internet, at the mercy of strangers? Are you sure?"

"Why are you putting it so menacing?"

"Because people will judge — me, you, us. Not everyone will be utterly positive and supportive. I just want you to think carefully about that," John says. He'd have absolutely no problem posting a pic of him and Gale on his official profile right now, but he wants the other man to be sure.

Gale cocks an eyebrow at him. "Not everyone will be utterly positive and supportive, really? Is that not the story of our lives?"

John smirks. "You're right, as usual. So, what do you propose we do? Can I post a picture of us like, right now?"

Gale laughs. "Now, don't rush! Let's talk with Lil first, I'm sure she knows how to deal with a... how are the youngsters calling it nowadays? A hard launch?"

"Hanging out with teenagers is ruining you, Buck! How do you even know such a term?!" John laughs, then pulls Gale closer to hug his waist and nuzzles his face against his fiancé's stomach. "You know, you're incredible: a lifetime together, and you still manage to surprise me," he says, softly.

Gale strokes his hair, humming content. "And I'll keep doing it for the rest of our lives. Now, if you're finished with the reviews and don't have to go out so soon, why don't you come back in our bedroom with me? We haven't celebrated enough this morning, as far as I'm concerned..."

—

A few days later, a picture is posted on John Egan's official Instagram profile. It's a black and white picture of him and another man, one that the fans recognize as the mysterious boyfriend Egan was kissing outside a restaurant in the paparazzi pics that came out a few days ago. The private profile of the other man, one Gale Cleven from Wyoming, theatre aficionado and apparently math teacher, is clearly tagged in the picture.

But the thing that truly sends the fans rioting is the simple, teasing caption:

If you thought John Egan was hot, you should see his fiancé!

Mayan Chocolate Ice Cream

From: Full Tilt Ice Cream, Seattle, Washington

The headnote says, “Ice cream shop owners cater to a wide variety of food and flavor preferences. It is important for the nondairy-eating public to enjoy the ice cream experience as much as the dairy-loving ice cream eater. Full Tilt, as well as many other ice cream shops around the country, is producing creative vegan ice creams made with nondairy milks such as coconut milk, almond milk and rice milk. The creamy combination of coconut milk and spices in this chocolate vegan ice cream is a spicy and refreshing scoop for all to enjoy.”

Makes about 1 Quart  

3 ½ cups regular coconut milk

¾ cup sugar

½  teaspoon ground cinnamon

1⁄8 teaspoon ground ginger

1⁄8 teaspoon ground cardamom

¼ cup Dutch cocoa powder

Warm the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. Continue to heat the mixture over medium-low heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder. Use an immersion blender or an upright blender to purée the mixture until smooth and no lumps of cocoa powder remain. Pour into a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Once chilled, pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Bliss

Sitting in the breakfast nook near the kitchen, the larger form sips from a steaming cup of coffee gazing out of the window admiring the rays of sunlight breaking through the cloudy morning. The coffee was freshly made along with the almond cherry muffins cooling on the nook's polished wood countertop. The earthy smells that filled the room were among the larger forms favorites, the types of favorites that you could smell everyday without any form of fatigue. Taking a brief moment, the form becomes lost in thought. Thoughts of how happy they are with their life, how they finally feel like they have purpose and how good it feels to be with the smaller form, encouraging them and supporting them throughout this crazy thing called life.

The larger form snaps back into the moment after hearing the sounds of a door opening accompanied by soft footsteps.

Good morning beautiful, I made muffins and if you want I can make you some coffee that won’t at all taste like coffee. 

The larger form motions to the muffins as the messy haired smaller form groggily moves into the kitchen. The smaller form takes a warm muffin from the basket on the countertop joining the larger form in the nook, kissing the larger form’s cheek as they sit.

Good morning, do you remember that “coffee” you made for me last sunday? The one with chocolate and vanilla, that one wasn't too bitter. I’d like to try it again. Did you use regular coffee or espresso last time?

The larger form rises from their place at the nook, planting a kiss on the top of the messy haired smaller form, moving into the kitchen to gather the ingredients to make the smaller form their drink. They add water to the small espresso maker to use the steaming wand built into it, prep the cup with chocolate syrup and a small amount of vanilla syrup before grabbing milk from the fridge and placing it into the milk foamer. 

Last time I did use regular coffee but it was a medium roast. We have a few options for medium roasts and I picked up vanilla and toffee flavored light roasts for you to try. Do you have a preference on which I use?

The larger form holds up several small bags of coffee, doing their best to display all of them at the same time. The smaller form looks for a moment and points to the toffee flavored light roast as they munch on a piece of muffin. 

Let me try the toffee flavored one. Honey this muffin is really good, how early did you wake up to make these? Please tell me you didn't stay awake just to make these muffins.

A slight look of concern passes over the smaller form’s face as they move to stand from their spot in the nook. The smaller form moves into the kitchen as the larger form prepares their coffee, wrapping their arms around the middle of the larger form hugging them from behind.

The larger form, pausing the drink preparation, turns in the embrace so that they are facing the smaller form, meeting their slightly concerned gaze with their own loving one. That the smaller form is vocal about their worries for the larger form's health and wellbeing is a gift the larger form will never take for granted.

I did sleep for a few hours, I just fell asleep in my computer chair and when I woke up to get some water you were already sound asleep so I got another hour on the couch. By the time I woke up that time it was early enough that I thought muffins would be a good idea and these turned out really well.

The larger form leans into the stretching smaller form, lips matching together like puzzle pieces and arms squeezing gently but with the firm message to never let go. The smaller form places their hand on the cheek of the larger form, a loving smirk now adorning their face they turn and return to the nook pulling out their phone beginning to scroll through social media occasionally announcing something interesting they had found. The larger form completes the smaller form’s drink after a few minutes, placing it on the polished counter for the smaller form before returning to the kitchen to make themself another drink. The two forms sit, chatting together in their own quiet little section of life, enjoying each other's company, affection, and presence.

Wipe The Sleep Right From My Eyes

Series: Fluff Is My Jamstiel

Fandom: Supernatural: 

Pairing: proto-Sastimmy/Jamstiel (Jimmy Novak/Sam Winchester/Castiel)

Rating: Teen and Up

Tags/Warnings: Witch Sam Winchester, Hunter Novak Brothers, Jimmy and Castiel Are Twins, Brief Allusions to Canon-Typical Violence, Domestic Fluff, Author Was Hungry

Summary: Sam woke up with a craving. Fortunately, it was one he could do something about.

For: @fluffyfebruary challenge!

Prompt: Day 23: Crave

Read on AO3

THERE WERE TWO options available when one woke up in the morning craving waffles. The first was to go out somewhere and buy them from someone paid to make them for you, either from a grocery store or a cafe or restaurant that specifically offered breakfast foods, waffles in particular. The second option and, if you were in any way culinarily inclined, arguably the best option was to make them yourself. Either option required leaving the warmth of the bed and the warm bodies of your nightly cuddle companions, unless one of said companions also happened to be culinarily inclined and willing to get up instead and provide you with option one.

Sadly, this was not the case for one Sam Winchester. Two of his companions, while otherwise quite competent individuals when it came to research, analytics, or combat, were only marginally capable in a kitchen and should by no means be allowed to operate a stove unsupervised by someone besides each other. The third, arguably more competent in the kitchen when necessary, was currently a dog and showed no signs of wanting to wake up yet much less turn human and go cook despite the grumbling hunger prodding at her witch.

Getting up himself it was.

Extricating himself from the tangle of sleepy twins wrapped around him proved just as difficult this morning as it was every morning he had the pleasure of their company for the night. James Constantine Novak was practically an octopus in his desire to cuddle, and while John Castiel Novak was less grabby than his brother he was absolutely a heatseeker who would burrow in close to Sam's side to get as much transfer of warmth as possible. It had taken some getting used to, being in the middle of that night after night when they had finally taken that step of very literally sleeping together, and some nights Sam woke disoriented and needing to shuffle around until one of the twins was in the middle instead. At first he had woken one or both of them whenever that happened, but now they just grumbled sleepily and rolled together to make room on one side or the other.

Sure enough, with some minor discontented muttering and shuffling, Cas and Jimmy settled back into sleep with Jimmy wrapped around Cas like a koala. Sam twitched the sheets smooth over them both and shuffled out, making a detour to relieve himself before heading to the kitchen and getting down the waffle iron and a mixing bowl.

Flour, baking powder, and salt went into the mixing bowl, followed by the eggs, milk, honey, and a splash of almond extract. The batter was smooth and thick by the time the waffle maker clicked at him to let him know it had reached the required temperature, and a quick spritz of butter-flavored cooking spray on both sides of the waffle iron was all the prep needed before he was pouring in the batter and scattering a small handful of chopped pecans over the surface. The lid went down and Sam grabbed a large plate out of the cabinet for receiving completed waffles, then hunted down the whipped honey butter he'd made during Imbolc.

There were three waffles on the plate and a fourth in the waffle iron when he felt someone approaching him from behind. Cool rain... tingling... a star-filled void crisscrossed with electric spidersilk.... "Morning, Cas," Sam hummed just before the slightly shorter man pressed up against his back and wrapped his arms around Sam's waist, his cheek resting against the back of Sam's shoulder.

"Warm," the still mostly asleep man mumbled. Then, "O'el da'a'eluga'a oi maonaonasa paugao zaomadave zao'el..."

"I'll give you waffles even without the sweet-talking," Sam teased, not actually understanding the words but more than familiar with the adoring tone in which they were mumbled. That had been happening more frequently as well, Cas slipping into a language that neither Sam nor Jimmy understood, usually when he was half-asleep or, more worryingly, concussed. Sam had a sneaking suspicion he knew what language it was, too, since the one time Dean had heard Cas doing this he'd said it sounded like some of the things Sam used to mutter in his sleep which he never remembered the after but always coincided with a dream that turned out to be a vision. Since Cas never actually remembered switching languages, he was holding off on saying anything for now, but he knew that wouldn't last.

It never did.

A loud yawn preceded the sound of shuffled footsteps as Jimmy, deprived of both his human-shaped cuddle partners, wandered in rubbing his eyes. "Pa'cakes?"

"Pecan waffles," Sam corrected. "Had a craving. You two want anything on them besides the honey butter?"

"Strawberries?"

"In the fridge."

And so another morning dawned.

In the world of tea enthusiasts, cold brew herbal tea is creating waves. This refreshing beverage is not only packed with flavor but also loaded with health benefits. Whether you’re a seasoned tea drinker or someone exploring healthier beverage options, cold brew herbal tea is worth adding to your repertoire. Let’s dive into the wonders of this delightful drink and discover why it has become a staple for many.

What Is Cold Brew Herbal Tea?

Cold brew herbal tea is a brewing method that involves steeping herbal tea blends in cold or room-temperature water for an extended period. Unlike traditional hot brewing methods, cold brewing extracts the flavors gradually, resulting in a smoother and more nuanced taste profile. This method works wonders with herbal teas, highlighting their natural flavors without the bitterness that can sometimes accompany hot brews.

The Benefits of Cold Brew Herbal Tea

Enhanced Flavor ProfileCold brewing brings out the subtle and complex flavors of herbal teas. Ingredients like chamomile, hibiscus, mint, and fruit infusions shine through with a crisp and refreshing taste that’s perfect for hot days or as a calming evening drink.

Rich in AntioxidantsHerbal teas are known for their high antioxidant content, which helps combat oxidative stress in the body. Cold brewing preserves these antioxidants more effectively compared to hot brewing, ensuring you reap the maximum health benefits.

Hydration BoostStaying hydrated is crucial, and cold brew herbal tea offers a delicious alternative to plain water. It’s a sugar-free, calorie-free beverage that can be enjoyed throughout the day.

Gentle on the StomachSince cold brewing reduces acidity and bitterness, it’s a gentler option for those with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux issues.

Easy PreparationPreparing cold brew tea is incredibly simple. All you need are your favorite herbal tea blends, cold water, and a bit of patience.

How to Make Cold Brew Herbal Tea

Making cold brew herbal tea is as easy as 1-2-3:

Choose Your Tea BlendPick a high-quality herbal tea blend. For a fruity and refreshing twist, try the Strawberry Breeze blend, which combines luscious strawberries with aromatic herbs for a delightful experience.

Steep in Cold WaterAdd 1-2 teaspoons of the tea blend per cup of cold or room-temperature water. Use a glass jar, pitcher, or cold brew tea maker for best results. Cover and refrigerate for 6-12 hours to allow the flavors to infuse fully.

Strain and ServeOnce steeped, strain the tea to remove the leaves or fruits. Serve chilled over ice and garnish with fresh mint, lemon slices, or berries for an extra touch of elegance.

Exploring Creative Variations

Cold brew herbal tea is incredibly versatile. Here are some creative ways to enjoy it:

Fruity Infusions: Add fresh fruits like oranges, berries, or peaches to the brew for an extra burst of flavor.

Herbal Cocktails: Mix your cold brew tea with sparkling water, a splash of fruit juice, or even a dash of gin for a unique cocktail.

Iced Latte Twist: Blend cold brew herbal tea with a splash of coconut or almond milk for a creamy, iced latte variation.

Why Choose Cold Brew Tea?

Cold brew herbal tea is more than just a beverage; it’s a lifestyle choice that promotes wellness and mindfulness. Whether you’re sipping it on a sunny afternoon or using it as a base for creative drinks, it’s a refreshing way to hydrate and nourish your body.

For those looking to explore the world of cold brew teas, Mabi Tea offers an excellent range of herbal blends. From vibrant fruity options to calming floral infusions, there’s something for everyone.

A Healthy Habit for Every Season

Ingredients To Make World's Best-Tasting Coffee!

What makes coffee perfect nowadays when one can taste so many different kinds of coffee from the diverse mixtures available in speciality stores and coffee shops? According to many, the perfect taste of coffee comes from above all, the right kind of ingredients used. Whether they are at home brewing their coffee or at that exclusive coffeehouse, what can elevate the experience of an individual drinking coffee, is the combination of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Thus, what matters to create the World's Best-Tasting Coffeeis actually the ingredients. So here are those basic ingredients that create the magic brew.

Fresh Coffee Beans

Fresh coffee beans are the soul of the World's Best Tasting Coffee; that's why fresh coffee is vital because the natural oils that create rich flavours lose efficacy with time after roasting. The way the fresh beans give you the best possible tasting coffee is to buy whole beans and grind them up right before brewing. The selection of beans could be done according to the flavour profile that one prefers-light, medium, or dark roast. Make sure to get the best coffee beans from a reputed company.

Clean Water

Because it makes up about 98% of it, water quality is very important. So clean, filtered water is an absolute requisite further additions interfering with the rich flavours of beans should be made. Hard water, filled with hundreds of minerals, makes coffee dull and flat. Fresh, pure water will bring out the full depth of flavour in your coffee and contribute to that perfect taste everyone seeks from their World's Best Tasting Coffee.

Proper Grind Size

The grind size of your coffee beans affects the way you can extract flavours from them. Use a fine grind for espresso extraction or use coarser grindings for French press coffee, for example, and you will experience a tastier brew. Match the grind size according to your brew method to ensure the best flavour from it. A consistent grind will also help prevent under-extraction or over-extraction from ruining coffee flavours. Do not forget that the world's best tasting coffeerequires that perfect grind!

Delicious Milk or Cream

Most of the coffee drinkers prefer their coffee with milk or cream. When it comes to making the World's Best Tasting Coffee, use fresh and premium quality milk or cream. Full-fat milk brings smoothness and density while non-dairy supplies such as oat or almond milk could carry unusual flavors. Steaming or frothing your milk before adding it to coffee helps create a silky texture which adds an experienced feeling to it.

Conclusion

It's all about using the right ingredients in the right proportions to make the World's Best Tasting Coffee. Fresh high-quality coffee beans, clean water, appropriate grind size, and a decent coffee maker would be key ingredients in making that perfect cup.

How to Make a Starbucks Iced Vanilla Latte?

The iced vanilla latte is a staple at Starbucks and has become one of the most popular cold beverages for coffee lovers worldwide. This deliciously smooth drink combines the rich taste of espresso with the creamy sweetness of vanilla syrup and milk, served over ice for a refreshing treat. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into how to make a Starbucks-style iced vanilla latte at home. We’ll explore each component, from selecting the right coffee to adding the perfect finishing touch. Whether you’re a barista in the making or simply a coffee enthusiast, by the end of this guide, you’ll be equipped to replicate the iconic Starbucks iced vanilla latte in your kitchen.

Ingredients Needed for a Starbucks Iced Vanilla Latte

To begin, let’s list the essential ingredients required for making a Starbucks-style iced vanilla latte. These are simple yet crucial to achieving that authentic flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

Espresso shots (Starbucks uses their signature espresso roast, but you can choose your preferred coffee)

Vanilla syrup (You can buy the Starbucks vanilla syrup, or make your own at home)

Milk (Dairy, oat, almond, soy, or any milk of your choice)

Ice (Preferably filtered ice cubes to ensure the best taste)

Toppings (Optional: Whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or vanilla bean powder)

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making a Starbucks Iced Vanilla Latte

Step 1: Prepare the Espresso

The foundation of a Starbucks iced vanilla latte is espresso. Starbucks uses a dark-roasted espresso blend that’s bold, rich, and full-bodied. For the best results at home, use an espresso machine, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry—there are alternative brewing methods.

Espresso Machine: Pull two shots of espresso using Starbucks Espresso Roast (or another high-quality coffee). For a standard iced vanilla latte, you will need two shots (around 2 oz) of espresso.

Alternative Methods: If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker (Moka pot) or brew a strong cup of coffee with an Aeropress. Cold brew concentrate also works well as a substitute for espresso.

Step 2: Sweeten with Vanilla Syrup

The key ingredient that makes a vanilla latte special is, of course, the vanilla syrup. Starbucks vanilla syrup is known for its sweet and aromatic flavor, which perfectly balances the strong espresso. You can purchase Starbucks vanilla syrup at many grocery stores, but you can also make it at home.

Store-Bought Syrup: Add 2-3 pumps of vanilla syrup (equivalent to about 2-3 tablespoons) to the cup.

Homemade Syrup Recipe: To make homemade vanilla syrup, you will need 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract. Heat the water and sugar together in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the vanilla extract and let it cool.

Once your vanilla syrup is ready, add it directly to the cup where you’ll be mixing your iced latte.

Step 3: Add Milk

Milk is the creamy base that gives the iced vanilla latte its smooth texture. Starbucks typically uses 2% milk in its iced lattes, but you can customize your drink by choosing any milk you prefer. Options include:

Dairy Milk: Whole milk, 2%, skim, or half-and-half for extra creaminess.

Non-Dairy Alternatives: Oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk are great alternatives that complement the vanilla flavor.

Add about 1 cup (8 oz) of milk to your cup. Pour the milk over the vanilla syrup and give it a gentle stir to mix the flavors.

Step 4: Add Ice

Once your espresso and milk are ready, it’s time to add the ice. The amount of ice you use is up to you, but typically, Starbucks iced lattes come with a significant amount of ice. Fill your cup with ice cubes until it’s nearly full, leaving a little room for the espresso shot.

Filtered Ice: Use filtered water to make your ice cubes to prevent any unwanted flavors from diluting your drink.

Crushed Ice Option: Some people prefer using crushed ice for a different texture, which creates a frothier consistency when stirred.

Step 5: Pour the Espresso Over the Ice

This is where the magic happens. Once your cup is filled with vanilla syrup, milk, and ice, it’s time to add the espresso shots. Slowly pour the espresso over the ice and milk. As the hot espresso hits the cold milk and ice, you’ll see the beautiful swirling layers of color that define a classic Starbucks iced vanilla latte.

Stirring Tip: For a layered presentation, you can serve the latte without stirring, leaving the espresso to float above the milk. If you prefer a well-blended drink, give it a quick stir with a straw or spoon.

Step 6: Customize Your Latte (Optional)

Starbucks offers endless customization options for its drinks, and you can do the same at home. Here are a few ways to elevate your iced vanilla latte:

Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent treat.

Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream or directly onto the drink for a touch of sweetness.

Vanilla Bean Powder: Sprinkle vanilla bean powder for a fragrant finish.

Extra Shots: For a stronger drink, you can add an additional shot of espresso.

Flavor Swaps: Try adding a pump of hazelnut or caramel syrup along with the vanilla for a unique twist.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Starbucks Iced Vanilla Latte

Choosing the Best Espresso Beans

Starbucks uses a dark-roast espresso blend, but you can experiment with different roast levels. A medium roast will provide a smoother, less intense flavor, while a light roast will have more fruity and acidic notes. For authenticity, try to find beans labeled as espresso roast or Italian roast.

Milk Frothing Techniques

Although an iced latte doesn’t require frothed milk, frothing your milk slightly can give it a richer texture. You can use a milk frother, French press, or even shake the milk in a jar before pouring it into the cup. Frothing non-dairy milk like oat milk or almond milk adds a creamy, foamy texture that mimics the Starbucks experience.

Making It Dairy-Free

Starbucks offers many non-dairy milk options, and you can easily adapt this recipe for a dairy-free version. Almond milk adds a nutty flavor, while oat milk creates a velvety texture. Soy milk is a classic option that complements the vanilla sweetness, while coconut milk gives the drink a tropical twist.

Cold Brew Option

If you prefer cold brew over espresso, you can easily swap the espresso shots for cold brew concentrate. Starbucks cold brew has a smooth and slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with vanilla syrup and milk. This alternative is ideal for anyone who enjoys a milder coffee flavor or wants to prepare their drink in advance.

Healthier Modifications for Your Iced Vanilla Latte

Cutting Back on Sugar

Vanilla syrup is delicious, but it’s also loaded with sugar. To make a lighter version of your iced vanilla latte, consider using a sugar-free vanilla syrup. Many brands offer sugar-free options that replicate the sweet and aromatic flavor of the original.

Low-Fat and Non-Dairy Milk Alternatives

Using skim milk or non-dairy options like almond or oat milk can significantly reduce the calorie count of your iced vanilla latte. These alternatives still offer creaminess without the high fat content of whole milk or cream.

Controlling Portion Sizes

A standard Starbucks iced vanilla latte is often served in a tall (12 oz) or grande (16 oz) size. When making your drink at home, you can control the portion size to suit your needs. If you prefer a smaller drink, simply use a single shot of espresso and less milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I Use Regular Brewed Coffee Instead of Espresso?

Yes, but the flavor won’t be as strong or authentic. If you don’t have an espresso machine, try using cold brew or a concentrated coffee made with a French press.

2. What Type of Ice Should I Use for the Best Results?

Starbucks uses filtered ice cubes to ensure a pure taste. You can use any ice, but filtered ice made from purified water will give you the cleanest, freshest flavor.

3. How Do I Get the Perfect Balance of Vanilla Flavor and Espresso?

Start with 2-3 pumps of vanilla syrup for a standard-sized iced vanilla latte. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more syrup to taste. Adjust the espresso shot strength based on your personal preference.

4. Can I Prepare This Drink in Advance?

You can make a large batch of iced vanilla lattes in advance by storing the espresso, vanilla syrup, and milk mixture in the fridge. When ready to serve, simply pour over ice and enjoy.

Conclusion

Creating a Starbucks iced vanilla latte at home is easier than you might think, and it allows you to tailor the drink exactly to your liking. From the bold espresso to the creamy milk and sweet vanilla syrup, every element of the drink plays a vital role in achieving that signature Starbucks flavor. With the right ingredients and a few key techniques, you can enjoy this popular iced coffee beverage anytime without having to leave your kitchen.

The Sweet Scoop: Exploring the World of Ice Creams

A Brief History of Ice Cream

The origins of ice cream date back to ancient times. It is believed that as far back as 200 BC, the Chinese enjoyed a frozen mixture of milk and rice. The evolution continued in Persia, where people made a sorbet-like treat by pouring grape juice concentrate over snow. However, it wasn’t until the 16th century that ice cream began to resemble the dessert we know today, with Italian chefs adding milk to the mix and perfecting the creamy texture.

Ice cream made its way to America in the 18th century and quickly became a favorite. By the 19th century, ice cream parlors started to appear, and the invention of mechanical refrigeration in the 20th century made it possible for ice cream to be enjoyed year-round.

Popular Ice Cream Flavors

Ice cream flavors are as varied as the people who enjoy them. Here are some timeless classics and modern favorites:

1. Vanilla: The quintessential ice cream flavor, known for its creamy, smooth texture and rich, comforting taste.

9. Cookies and Cream: Featuring chunks of chocolate cookies mixed into creamy vanilla ice cream, this flavor is a favorite among kids and adults alike.

The Latest Trends in Ice Cream

As tastes evolve, so does the world of ice cream. Here are some exciting trends that are making waves in the ice cream industry:

1. Plant-Based Ice Cream: With the rise of veganism and lactose intolerance, plant-based ice creams made from almond, coconut, or oat milk are becoming increasingly popular. These alternatives provide a creamy texture without the dairy.

2. Exotic Flavors: Adventurous eaters are turning to unique flavors such as black sesame, lavender honey, and even savory options like basil or olive oil ice cream.

3. Artisan and Small-Batch Production: There’s a growing demand for high-quality, handcrafted ice creams. Small-batch production allows for more creativity and higher-quality ingredients, resulting in superior taste and texture.

4. Functional Ingredients: Some ice creams now include health-boosting ingredients like probiotics, collagen, or adaptogens, catering to health-conscious consumers who don’t want to sacrifice indulgence.

5. Rolled Ice Cream: Originating in Thailand, rolled ice cream is made by pouring a liquid base onto a freezing-cold metal surface. As it freezes, it is spread thinly and rolled up, creating a visually appealing and customizable treat.

6. Ice Cream Sandwiches and Cones: Innovative ice cream sandwiches using cookies, waffles, or even donuts as the base, and creatively flavored cones are becoming trendy, offering a fun twist on the traditional scoop.

Making Ice Cream at Home

Making ice cream at home is easier than ever, thanks to modern ice cream makers and simple no-churn recipes. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Your choice of mix-ins (chocolate chips, fruit, cookie dough, etc.)

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add your mix-ins and gently fold them into the mixture.

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Scoop and enjoy your homemade ice cream! Skeiicecream represents a fascinating fusion of art and food, offering a new way to appreciate the beloved dessert.

A cold press juicer machine, also known as a masticating juicer, is a type of juicer that operates at a slower speed than traditional centrifugal juicers. This slower speed helps reduce heat generation, oxidation and nutrient loss, resulting in higher quality juice while retaining more nutrients and enzymes.

Cold press juicers work by crushing and then pressing fruits and vegetables to extract the juice, rather than using high-speed blades like centrifugal juicers. This gentle process helps preserve the product's natural flavor and nutrients.

When looking for a cold press juicer machine, consider factors such as:

1. Juice Quality: Look for a juicer that produces high-quality juice with minimal oxidation and nutrient loss.

2. Yield: Consider the juicer's ability to extract juice from a variety of produce.

3. Ease of cleaning: Choose a detachable juicer that is easy to clean, as this will make the juicing process more convenient.

4. Durability: Choose a juicer made from sturdy materials that last longer.

5. Price: Cold press juicers can vary widely in price, so consider your budget and find a juicer that offers good value for money.

Popular brands of cold press juicers include Omega, Hurom, Tribest and Covings. Be sure to read reviews and compare features before buying to find the best cold press juicer machine for your needs.

Ingredients Used In Chocolate Making

To create chocolate, a combination of carefully chosen ingredients is needed to get the right flavor, texture, and quality. The main materials used in the making of chocolate are emulsifiers, sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids (in the case of milk chocolate), and cocoa beans. Let's examine these essential elements:

Cocoa Beans: Cocoa beans are the main ingredient used to make chocolate. These beans are picked, fermented, dried, roasted, and then processed into cocoa mass. They are obtained from the cacao tree. The flavor profile of chocolate is determined by the cocoa bean, and various types contribute distinctive qualities.

Sugar: Sugar is an essential component of chocolate because it adds sweetness to counteract the natural bitterness of cocoa. Depending on the required texture and sweetness level, various forms of sugar, such as powdered or granulated sugar, may be used in varying amounts.

Cocoa Butter: The fat that is removed from cocoa beans during the process of creating chocolate is known as cocoa butter. It helps to give chocolate its velvety, melt-in-your-mouth texture. For a smooth, creamy texture, premium chocolate frequently has a high percentage of cocoa butter.

Milk Solids (for Milk Chocolate): Condensed milk or milk powder can be used as milk solids in milk chocolate. The chocolate gains a creamy, milky flavor from this addition. The amount of chocolate flavor depends on the ratio of cocoa solids to milk solids.

Emulsifiers: By keeping the cocoa solids and cocoa butter from separating, emulsifiers like lecithin help to stabilize the chocolate. This guarantees a uniform and silky texture. During the tempering process, emulsifiers also help the chocolate's flow characteristics.

Flavorings and Additives: To improve the overall flavor, some chocolate variants may contain extra flavorings like vanilla, spices, or natural extracts. These are optional and added in accordance with the preferences of the chocolate maker or the demands of the particular recipe.

Optional Additions: To produce a wide variety of chocolate goods, chocolate manufacturers frequently add flavor-enhancing ingredients like almonds, dried fruits, or other inclusions. These additions give the chocolate further layers of flavor and texture.

A careful blend of cocoa beans, sugar, cocoa butter, emulsifiers, milk solids (for milk chocolate), and optional flavorings or inclusions is required to create the art of chocolate production. Check for the best wholesale chocolate products supplier in Dubai. The diverse and pleasant world of chocolate is the product of expert processing techniques combined with an exact balance of these ingredients.

Traditional ice cream is incredibly high in sugar, making it unsuitable for a keto diet. However, our keto-friendly ice cream and berries is a fruity and sweet substitute to this classic dessert and are presented in a beautiful mason jar for dinner guests or special occasions.

The addition of almond milk balances out the richness of heavy whipping cream, and while there’s raw egg yolk included, you won’t be able to detect it with the addition of the allulose and vanilla extract. Best of all, you won’t even need any fancy equipment to make a delicious sweet treat, just place all the ingredients in the mason jar (don’t forget the lid) and shake until combined. Once it’s had enough time to chill in the freezer, you’ll get a keto alternative to ice cream that tastes just as good but doesn’t leave you feeling bloated and heavy. 

While it’s perfectly fine to serve the ice cream as is, adding some fresh raspberries on top can add some tartness that cuts through the intense sweetness. Feel free to substitute it with any berries of your choice.

Yields 2 servings of Keto Mason Jar Ice Cream & Berries

The Preparation

2 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoon cocoa powder

3 tablespoon allulose

2 tablespoon peanut butter

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all ingredients.

2. In a small container or jar, add heavy cream, almond milk, and allulose.

3. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.

NOTE: If are are concerned with raw egg yolks, you can heat the mixture to 140F in a saucepan over low heat. Continuously stir until it comes to temperature, then add to jar to shake.

4. Seal with a lid and shake vigorously for 5 minutes. You really want to shake this up hard so that everything combines well and the volume increases as the cream whips.

5. Add fresh or frozen raspberries into the mixture, then place in the freezer and chill for at least 3 hours.

6. Once ice cream is at the consistency you want, take out and enjoy!
