Buying advice
1 double shot + 1-2 tbsp maple syrup + steamed milk + cinnamon. Stir maple syrup into the espresso, add steamed milk, top with foam and a cinnamon dusting. Pro tip: Real maple syrup is the whole point — the fake stuff is just sugar water. Grade A dark works best.
FAQ
Maple syrup or syrup flavoring?
Real maple syrup — it has smoky depth that flavoring can't touch. Grade A dark amber is ideal.
How much maple?
1-2 tablespoons — maple is milder than caramel so it takes a bit more.
Does it pair with anything?
Cinnamon and nutmeg are classic; a pinch of sea salt makes it a salted maple latte.
