Default Vanilla bean latte

I thought someone here may have worked at Second Cup or elsewhere and might have some advice. I wonder if anyone knows how they make these wonderful concoctions so I can make them myself. I own a great espresso/cappuchino maker so making the coffee base is easy but what else do they do to make them so darn tasty? I imagine a lot of vanilla syrup goes in???? I also have that so I figure I'm most of the way to making these delightful beverages, in anyone has the top-secret recipe.

If someone could tell me a way to make the stuff my wife spends 5 bucks a cup for at Starbucks I would be able to afford a new car!

Isn't it just a shot of Vanilla syrup, a shot of espresso and steamed milk?

I'd figure that would be in, no?

I already have (or my wife does) the vanilla syrup. So, it looks like I'm just about there. I thought there might be something else to it. I'll give it a shot (literally and figuratively) and see how it goes.
