Holiday Vanilla Latte Recipe: Hot or Iced With Latte de Noël

A homemade holiday vanilla latte is a simple way to make an ordinary afternoon feel festive. This easy hot-or-iced version starts with Latte de Noël, our French-made holiday latte blend with vanilla, biscuit and hazelnut-praline-inspired flavor notes. All you need is the powder, your favorite milk and a few minutes.

Latte de Noël is a flavored beverage powder, not pure Japanese matcha. Use the serving size and mixing directions printed on your final product label; the quantities below are a flexible serving suggestion.

What you need for one holiday vanilla latte

• One serving of Latte de Noël, measured according to the tin's instructions
• Your preferred milk or plant-based beverage, in the amount indicated on the label
• Optional warm water for mixing the powder if directed on the label
• Ice for the cold version
• Optional toppings such as milk foam, cinnamon or a little vanilla, according to your preference

Milk, optional toppings and serving accessories are not included with the 100 g tin. If you have allergies, verify the product's full ingredient and allergen information before preparing it.

How to make a hot holiday vanilla latte

1. Check the label. Measure the recommended serving of Latte de Noël powder and follow the preparation directions on the tin.
2. Mix thoroughly. If the directions call for water first, combine the powder with the recommended amount until smooth.
3. Warm your milk. Heat it gently in a small saucepan or use a milk frother suitable for hot drinks.
4. Combine and serve. Stir the prepared latte base into your milk. Froth if desired and enjoy warm.

For a café-style finish, add a little extra foam. A dusting of cinnamon is an optional serving idea, not a necessary ingredient.

How to make an iced holiday vanilla latte

1. Mix one serving of Latte de Noël according to its preparation directions.
2. Fill a serving glass with ice and add cold milk.
3. Pour in the prepared latte blend, stir until evenly combined, and taste before adding anything else.

Prefer a stronger flavor? Adjust the milk quantity only within the product's preparation guidance. Using a clear glass makes the finished drink look especially inviting without changing the recipe.

Holiday vanilla latte: common questions

Does Latte de Noël contain hazelnuts?

It has hazelnut-praline-inspired flavor notes, but a flavor description does not establish its ingredient or allergen content. Check the final U.S. label for the actual ingredients and allergen statement before buying, especially if you have a tree nut allergy.

Can I make it without dairy milk?

You can prepare the drink with a preferred milk alternative when compatible with the label's directions. Selecting a plant-based beverage does not make the powder itself dairy-free; always verify its own ingredients.

Is this the same as Moon Latte?

No. Moon Latte is a blue vanilla and lavender flavored latte blend, while Latte de Noël has a festive biscuit-and-praline-inspired profile. Both appear in our French latte powder collection.
