Ingredients
  

  • ½ tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla paste or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A small dash of cinnamon
  • A tiny pinch of flaky salt
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ice optional

Instructions
 

  • Add maple syrup, vanilla paste, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt into a shaker or mason jar.
  • Pull a double shot of espresso and pour it over the mixture.
  • Add ice to fill the shaker halfway.
  • Pour in the milk.
  • Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the drink feels frothy and well combined.
  • Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  • Optional: Add cinnamon sugar or a light maple drizzle on top

Notes

  • Vanilla paste gives a stronger bakery-style flavor.
  • For extra creaminess, use whole milk or oat milk.
  • Shake hard. This is what gives the latte its signature smooth texture.
  • If making it hot, warm, and froth the milk instead of shaking.
  • Don’t skip the flaky salt. It enhances the maple flavor beautifully.
