Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong coffee 1-2 shots of espresso
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or more if desired
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
Instructions
- Brew one or two shots of espresso or make a strong cup of coffee. Pour in a mug and add maple syrup. I like to add half my maple syrup to the coffee amd 1/2 the maple syrup to my milk.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, 1/2 maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Heat over medium heat until warm, being careful not to let it boil.
- Froth the warm milk using a handheld milk frother, blender, or whisk.
- Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso.
- Enjoy! If you are feeling extra fancy, add some homemade maple whipped cream.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup instead of pancake syrup for the best flavor.
- Freshly brewed espresso creates the richest latte, but strong brewed coffee also works well.
- Warm the milk gently so it stays creamy and does not scorch.
- If you do not have a milk frother, simply heat the milk in a saucepan and whisk vigorously until foamy, use a immersion blender, or blend it carefully in a blender for a smooth, frothy finish.
- Taste before serving and add a little more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- To make a iced maple latte, see instructions above.
