There is nothing better than a homemade latte first thing in the morning.
I know that it's still summer, and people are wanting iced drinks all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love a good cold brew most days, but right now I am feeling in the fall mood. I want some fall flavors and some cozy latte vibes.
And this Maple Latte might be one of the coziest drinks I have made in a long time.
Key Ingredients
Maple Latte Ingredients
- strong coffee: you can also use espresso, made either in an espresso maker or using espresso powder.
- pure maple syrup: add more or less, depending on your desired level of sweetness.
- whole milk: for a vegan version, you can use your favorite non-dairy milk. I like oat milk or coconut milk for the creamiest foam.
How To Make a Maple Latte
Step 1: Add the hot coffee in a large coffee mug. Pour the maple syrup in, and mix until fully combined.
Step 2: In a microwave safe mug, microwave the milk for 30 seconds. Using a handheld milk frother, foam the milk until it doubles in size. Pour on top of the coffee mixture.
Maple Latte Expert Tips
Replace the coffee with espresso shots. If you are blessed with an espresso machine, you can replace the coffee with 2 shots of espresso.
Swap out the maple syrup. Use honey, corn syrup or whatever sweetener you like in place of the real maple syrup.
Make sure to use a high fat and protein milk to ensure the best froth. Whole milk is my first choice, but oat milk and coconut milk are the best non-dairy options.
Maple Latte Frequently Asked Questions
Yes you can! Just mix together the coffee (or espresso) and the maple syrup while it is still hot so that it dissolves easily. Then pour it over ice and top with cold milk or cold-frothed milk.
I find that 100% pure maple syrup works best, so that the flavor holds up against strong coffee. Avoid pancake syrups, as they are often lighter in flavor.
If you don't have a hand mixer, use a sealed mason jar! Just add the warm milk into a mason jar, seal it and shake for around 30-60 seconds, or until foamy.
Whole dairy milk gives the richest foam. If you want plant-based alternatives, I have found that oat milk and coconut milk froth well and pair nicely with maple syrup in this latte.
