Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup milk or dairy-free milk
- 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar or sugar cookie syrup
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkles or crushed sugar cookies
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk for a creamier texture.
- Brew the Coffee: Prepare one shot of espresso using an espresso machine or brew 1/2 cup of very strong coffee using your preferred method and pour it into a large mug.
- Mix Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla syrup, almond extract, and granulated sugar or sugar cookie syrup into the coffee until fully dissolved to achieve that signature sugar cookie flavor.
- Add the Milk: Slowly pour the warmed milk into the coffee mixture and gently stir to combine all ingredients harmoniously.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your latte with whipped cream and optional sprinkles or crushed sugar cookies for extra indulgence. Serve the latte immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of syrup used to your taste preference.
- Oat milk or almond milk provides a particularly complementary flavor to the latte.
- For an iced version, substitute warm milk with cold milk and pour the latte over ice cubes.
