Ingredients
Scale
Sweetened Espresso Mixture
- 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ounces espresso
To Serve
- Ice
- 6 – 8 ounces milk (adjust according to preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweetened Base: In a heat-safe glass, combine 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste, ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon sea salt to create a flavorful syrup blend.
- Add Espresso and Froth: Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly into the glass with the syrup mixture. Use a hand frother to whip the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns pale and frothy, creating a smooth, flavorful base.
- Fill the Serving Cup: Fill a 20 or 24-ounce cup with ice cubes. Pour in 6 to 8 ounces of milk, adjusting the amount depending on how strong you prefer your coffee flavor.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the frothy espresso mixture over the iced milk. Serve immediately with a straw or enjoy directly to savor the foamy, sweet top and the refreshing layered flavors.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.
- Adjust milk volume to taste for a stronger or milder coffee flavor.
- Vanilla bean paste adds a richer aroma compared to vanilla extract.
- The drink is best enjoyed immediately to retain frothiness and chill.
- Substitute milk with plant-based milk alternatives for a dairy-free option.
