2 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Step 2: Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly into the glass with the syrup mixture. Use a hand frother to whip until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes pale and frothy.

Step 4: Pour the espresso mixture over the ice and milk. Stir if desired, and enjoy with a straw or savor the foamy top as is.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk.
Add a sprinkle of nutmeg for extra warmth and spice.
Use brewed strong coffee instead of espresso if you don’t have an espresso machine.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the maple syrup and brown sugar amounts to taste.

Storage

This iced latte is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in a sealed container. Stir well before drinking, but note the texture and froth may change when refrigerated. It’s best to prepare the espresso mixture fresh and add milk and ice right before serving.
