I cant believe how much I liked this. Now I have to say that I didnt follow the recipe exactly. Because I did not have the vanilla syrup I improvised and instead used 2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tsp pure maple syrup. And the only instant coffee I had was actually Starbucks Via Iced ready brew. It is already a little sweet so Im not sure if that or the other made up for the sweet I was missing but it worked. If I try again with different ingredients I will post again.
