Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Find a few minutes to flavor your moment with the new Tate+Lyle® Gourmet Beverage Syrups.  You can boost your normal cup of joe with just a couple ingredients and turn it into one of my favorites–the vanilla latte.  No fancy equipment needed! Brilliant!Low-Calorie Vanilla Latte (Skinny Vanilla Latte) - you can make at home without an espresso machine or fancy equipment!These days, I’m lucky if I fit in a cup of coffee once every day.  I’m the type of person who only drinks coffee if I can sip it and slowly enjoy it.  It needs to be a peaceful and refreshing environment. In other words, I don’t drink it while on mom duty. I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays, when the kids attend a Mom’s Day Out program at the local church while I work on writing, recipe development, etc.  After I drop them off, and right before I get started on work, I sit down for about 30 minutes of quiet time with a hot cup of coffee.   Other days of the week, I wait until nap time for this moment, but it’s not always guaranteed.

Because these rejuvenating moments can be so few, I often like to make the most of them.  One way I do this is by making my coffee “my way” with Tate+Lyle® Gourmet Beverage Syrups.  If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen that I typically use Tate+Lyle® Fairtrade Certified Sugars in my coffee, specifically their raw cane sugar.  Guess what?  As of this fall, they now have flavored syrups available in Caramel, Hazelnut, and Vanilla! The Tate+Lyle® Gourmet Beverage Syrups come in 12.7 fl. oz. bottles and are great for flavoring your coffee, tea, soda, smoothies, cocktails, etc.  Since 1878, Tate+Lyle® has been a trusted sweetener brand in the U.K. and just recently available throughout the U.S.!  You can find coupons for the flavored syrups in the Sunday Newspaper, December 7th, and also in issues of First for Women and Women’s World.

If you don’t have an espresso machine but would like to make a vanilla latte at home, go pick up some Tate+Lyle® Gourmet Beverage Syrups in the sugar aisle at your local Walmart or the coffee aisle at other fine retailers and follow my simple recipe below.  It’s brilliant!

  3. First of all, I’m obsessed with your coffee mug! So pretty 🙂 How do I spend “me” time? Hmmm. I like to snuggle up with my kindle, or my husband while watching a movie, or even just going for a nice walk with my dog and husband! Not technically “me” time, but it’s when I feel the most relaxed!

  6. I do Zumba! If I feel like being by myself then I do it at home to the DVD. Otherwise, I go to the gym and join the group exercises!

  13. Actually, my ‘me’ time is in the kitchen baking or in my craft studio making cards, wreaths, etc; both of which I find relaxing.
    Thank you for this giveaway opportunity

  15. I enjoy vanilla lattes too, Nikki.
    I enjoy a walk or jog outdoors or curling up under a fluffy blanket with a cup of tea listening to my daughter read like a rock star or watching a Jane Austin film.
    Hope you are enjoying this season of Advent.

  19. Awww nothing better then “me time!” That usually consists of going to my workout class first thing in the morning to get my day off to a great start. Otherwise my favorite way is cuddling up in my pjs on my couch with a glass of wine, candle lit and a good movie : )

  43. I have one of those coffee machines that I can make Lattes, and for me a me time is making a Hot Caramel Latte and sitting down and reading the Newspaper! I would love to try the Caramel flavor.

  49. I take ‘me’ time by either going for a jog around the neighborhood with some great music or read a good book in front of the fireplace in the winter with some hot chocolate.

  53. I love grinding fresh coffee beans and making a cup Chemex style before I settle down with an open Bible. Like you, I do not hurry through the brew. Then I go for a nice long walk with my two English setters.

  54. When I want to carve out a little “me time,” I make a nice hot cup of tea and park on the couch with my laptop (which is exactly what I’m doing right now). For the icing on the cake, my cat curls up next to me and purrs, and the dog snores at the other end of the couch (both of which are also happening right now). Doesn’t get more peaceful than that!

  60. That looks so good! I use your mason jar froth recipe idea all the time! My “me” time has been in short supply lately other than just trying to sleep (thanks, toddler + pregnancy fatigue!), but I do enjoy a warm beverage while curled up on my couch during nap time. I either read, study, or catch a favorite tv episode and just chill for a few minutes!

  66. I usually make a special mocha latte at home during my me time, but I haven’t tried these syrups yet! They sound delish!

  75. I like to read a good book when I have “me” time. Unfortunately me time is so hard to come by it generally takes me months to finish a book 😉

  90. I like to take my “me time” in nature with my camera. I lose myself in the beauty around me and it has a meditative effect on my spirit and mind. I love it!

  98. I don’t get much me time, it’s usually when I’m taking a quick shower alone lol. A me time nap would be amazing!

  116. I give myself permission to do nothing. I am so good at multi-tasking that it’s hard to switch off and just ‘be’. So when the sun’s out, I take 10 minutes to bask in the sunshine. Just that. No laundry folding or bill paying allowed.

  123. Some of my me time is made brilliant with hot water and lots of lovely scented body washes and shampoos! I love a little time to myself, luxuriating in the shower. I come out feeling refreshed and ready to get going again 🙂

  149. Ok, not all the time, but some of the time I make my me times special by eating a piece of organic chocolate in the morning with my coffee. Yes, chocolate for breakfast. It’s not cheap and I like that it is a ‘me time’ thing so I don’t go overboard eating it. Just some times.
