Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Latte Syrup Mix

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

Espresso and Beverage

2 ounces espresso
6 – 8 ounces milk (any kind: 2%, skim, whole, or dairy-free alternatives like oat, almond, or soy milk)
Ice (enough to fill a 20 to 24-ounce cup halfway to ¾ full)

Instructions

Prepare the Syrup Mixture: Add 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste, ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon sea salt into a heat-safe glass.
Brew and Blend the Espresso: Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly into the glass containing the syrup mix. Use a hand frother to whip the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes pale and frothy, enhancing both texture and flavor.
Prepare the Glass with Ice and Milk: Fill a 20 or 24-ounce cup halfway to three-quarters full with ice—use nugget ice or larger cubes depending on preference. Pour 6 to 8 ounces of your chosen milk over the ice, adjusting milk quantity for desired coffee strength.
Combine and Serve: Pour the frothy espresso mixture gently over the iced milk. Serve immediately with a straw or sip directly to enjoy the creamy, foamy top of your French Toast Iced Latte.

Notes

Always use 100% pure maple syrup for authentic flavor.
If you don’t have a hand frother, shake the espresso and syrup mixture in a jar before adding to milk and ice.
For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with oat, almond, or soy milk.
To make a hot version, steam the milk and omit ice.
Consider chilling your glass in the freezer for 15-20 minutes for an extra cold latte experience.
Vanilla extract can be substituted 1:1 for vanilla bean paste if needed.
