Ingredients

Homemade Sugar Cookie Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter extract

Latte Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of brewed blonde espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar cookie syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond milk extra or seriously creamy variety
  • Ice

Instructions

  • Homemade Sugar Cookie Syrup:Combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter extracts.
  • To make an iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte: Add ice to a large glass and pour over brewed espresso. Stir in sugar cookie syrup. Tip: 3 tablespoons will give you the equivalent of a tall sugar cookie latte from Starbucks.
  • With a handheld frother or countertop frother, froth the cold almond milk for 45-60 seconds until thick and foamy.
  • Pour the foamy almond milk over the coffee and add more syrup to taste if desired. Garnish with holiday sprinkles.
  • To make a hot Sugar Cookie Latte: Brew espresso or ½ a cup of hot strong coffee into a mug. Stir in the sugar cookie syrup. 
  • In the microwave or on the stovetop, warm the almond milk until just steaming (140F), but not boiling. Froth for 45-60 seconds with a handheld or countertop frother until thick and foamy.
  • Pour the foamy milk over the hot espresso and enjoy.

Notes

  • For hot lattes, do not boil the milk, it won't foam properly.
  • Homemade sugar syrup is not dairy free, omit the butter extract or swap it with 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of almond extract for a dairy free syrup.
