Notes

  • Nutrition values are estimates and will vary depending on the coffee, vanilla syrup, and creamer you use.
  • For the smoothest flavor, chill freshly brewed coffee completely before making the drink, or use cold brew.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less vanilla syrup to taste.
