An iced vanilla latte is the ultimate coffeehouse classic—smooth, balanced, and subtly sweet. But getting that velvety vanilla flavor at home often means juggling expensive espresso shots and artificial, watery syrups that sink to the bottom of your glass.
Because Caffè D’Vita French Vanilla Mix combines premium coffee and sweet vanilla notes in a smooth powder base, you can craft a concentrated flavor base in seconds and pour it over ice. No espresso machine or barista training required.

Step-by-Step Preparation
- In a measuring cup or glass, stir 4 teaspoons of Caffè D’Vita French Vanilla Mix into 2 oz of warm water until smooth and fully dissolved.

Pro Barista Tip: Dissolving your mix in 2 oz of warm water before adding cold liquid and ice prevents clumping and guarantees a silky-smooth texture every time.
Customize It #CaffeYourWay
Our drink mixes give you complete freedom over milk choice, sweetness, and flavor intensity:
- Scoop to Taste: Prefer a subtle, lighter vanilla note? Use 2 to 3 teaspoons. Craving a rich, dessert-style cup? Increase to 5 teaspoons. You control the flavor strength.
- Your Milk, Your Way: Pair with oat milk for a thick, velvety body, almond milk for a lighter refreshing finish, or dairy milk for traditional coffeehouse creaminess.
- Cinnamon Vanilla Twist: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon or a dash of caramel syrup to your warm concentrate before pouring over ice for a spiced vanilla creation.
