Ingredients

2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
2 ounces espresso
Ice
6 – 8 ounces milk

Instructions

Step 1: In a heat-safe glass, combine the maple syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
Step 2: Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly into the glass with the syrup mixture. Use a hand frother to whip until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes pale and frothy.
Step 3: Fill a 20 or 24-ounce cup with ice, then pour in 6 to 8 ounces of milk, adjusting the amount for your preferred coffee strength.
Step 4: Pour the espresso mixture over the ice and milk, then enjoy with a straw or by sipping the foamy top.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a different warm spice flavor.
Use cold brew coffee instead of espresso for a smoother, less intense taste.

Storage

This iced latte is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store the espresso mixture and milk separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and mix before serving. Avoid storing the drink assembled to maintain the frothy texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste?

Yes, you can substitute vanilla bean paste with vanilla extract; use about ¼ teaspoon for a similar flavor.

What if I don’t have a hand frother?

You can whisk the espresso and syrup mixture vigorously or shake it in a tightly sealed jar until frothy.
