Latte flavoring without the sugar

I have the pleasure and honor of developing a cafe's concept for their coffee.  I am interesting in straying away from the usual flavored syrups you find in most shops.  While doing this I would like to minimize the amount of sugar that is added to the process. *possibly to nill*.  So if someone wanted it sweeter, I would just add simple syrup to the espresso shot before adding the steamed milk.

 

I know so many people that don't like or can't drink flavored lattes due to how sweet they tend to be.  I would like to bring vanilla, hazlenut, and other flavors to the latte without the sweetness.  I would still offer them "sweetened" version but still toned down from what you would normally find.  

 

Anyone expirment with adding a vanilla powder to the milk prior to steaming?  Any other thoughts on ways to obtain what I would like the flavor drinks to be?
