Iced Salted Maple Latte
Iced Salted Maple Latte is a smooth and refreshing iced coffee made with espresso, pure maple syrup, a pinch of sea salt, and creamy milk. It's a simple drink that's perfectly balanced between sweet, rich, and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso
- 1½ tbsp maple syrup
- pinch of sea salt
- ¾ cup whole milk or your milk of choice
- 1 cup ice
Salted Maple Cold Foam (optional topping)
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- tiny pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso.
- Stir the maple syrup and sea salt into the hot espresso until fully dissolved.
- Allow the espresso to cool for several minutes.
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour the milk over the ice.
- Pour the cooled espresso over the ice and milk.
- Stir well to combine.
- If desired make the salted maple cold foam. Froth the heavy cream, milk, maple syrup, and sea salt until thick but pourable, then spoon it over the latte.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
- Fine sea salt dissolves more easily than coarse salt.
- Oat milk makes an excellent dairy-free alternative.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso.
- For a sweeter latte, stir in another teaspoon of maple syrup.
- Chill the espresso before pouring it over ice to keep the drink from becoming diluted.
- Top with salted maple cold foam for a richer coffee shop-style finish.
- A light sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice makes a delicious seasonal garnish.
