Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Latte
- Balanced Sweetness: Start with a small amount of sweetener and adjust. Maple syrup gives a rich fall flavor, but monk fruit is a great sugar-free option.
- Chill Your Coffee: Warm coffee melts ice too quickly. Make sure it’s fully chilled before pouring it over ice.
- Froth Matters: Use a blender or milk frother to get that thick, foamy texture - it makes your latte feel like a true Starbucks copycat pumpkin spice latte.
