There is something special about a latte that leans into warmth and comfort without losing its sense of refinement. The combination of real maple syrup and pure vanilla creates a cozy sweetness that feels natural and elevated, wrapping the espresso in a soft, aromatic embrace. It is a simple drink that becomes luxurious with the right ingredients.
The vanilla deepens the maple's caramel notes and adds a smooth, lingering aroma that brings the entire drink together. When paired with rich espresso and velvety milk, every sip feels balanced, comforting, and indulgent. It is the kind of homemade latte experience that feels café worthy instead of leaving you unsatisfied.
Ingredients
-
1 cup milk
-
1 to 2 tsp maple syrup
-
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
-
1 shot of espresso
Instructions
In a small saucepan or milk frother, warm the milk with the maple syrup and vanilla until it is hot and steamy. Froth until it becomes soft and airy, allowing the sweetness and vanilla aroma to blend fully into the milk.
Prepare a fresh shot of espresso and pour it into your favourite mug. Slowly pour the warm, frothed milk over the espresso, letting the foam rise to the top in a smooth, silky layer.
Take the first sip as the vanilla and maple soften the espresso into a beautifully rounded and comforting latte experience. Try over ice to adapt this classic latte to all seasons!
