Prep Time
5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (or 2 espresso shots)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon maple syrup
Instructions
- Start by brewing shots of espresso using your espresso machine. You can also make a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method if you don't have one.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat, stirring often. The milk should not boil. Stir in the syrup and froth until foamy.
- Pour your shot of espresso (or coffee) into your favorite mug. Slowly pour the frothed maple milk over the espresso. Hold back the foam with a spoon to let the milk run in first.
- Top your homemade maple latte with whipped cream and a drizzle of sweet maple syrup and enjoy.
Notes
- Make a pot of extra strong coffee in a regular coffee maker or a French press. Instant espresso powder can also be used.
- Please use real maple syrup! Pancake syrup is different and will not give you the same maple flavor.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference. The beauty of a homemade latte is that you can make it as sweet or mild as you like.
- If your milk frother heats the milk, you can skip warming it on the stove.
- Pour the warm milk in slowly. The liquid goes in first, and then you can top it with the foam.
