How to Make Maple Latte
A maple latte swaps sugar for real maple syrup — a smoky, earthy sweetness that pairs especially well with medium and dark roasts. It's a two-ingredient upgrade over a plain latte.

Buying advice
Use 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup (Grade A dark) per cup, stirred into the espresso before the milk so it dissolves. Skip the artificial 'maple-flavored' syrups — the real thing tastes cleaner. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg lifts it further.
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.
