How to Make This Maple Pecan Coffee Latte

Making this latte is as easy as pie, and just as satisfying! Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions.

Brew a shot of espresso: Start by brewing your espresso shot. Set it aside in a warm area while you prepare the milk. If you’re using coffee instead, brew about 1/2 cup of strong coffee.
Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. You want it hot but not boiling, stir it occasionally. You’re looking for that nice, frothy texture that makes for a comforting latte!
Add the maple syrup: Once your milk is steaming, stir in the maple syrup. Trust me, the scent of maple filling your kitchen will make you feel all warm inside!
Combine the espresso and milk: Pour the espresso into your favorite mug (bonus points if it has a seasonal theme!). Carefully pour the maple-infused milk over the espresso. It’s a beautiful combination, those layers are just so pretty!
Garnish: If you want to go all out, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle the toasted pecans and a dash of cinnamon for that perfect finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy!: It’s best served immediately, so grab your cozy blanket, your favorite book, and enjoy this warm hug in a cup!

Serving & Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions

This latte pairs perfectly with warm pastries or some freshly baked scones. If you want a fun twist, consider serving it alongside some spiced pumpkin muffins or chocolate croissants!

Storage

While this drink is best enjoyed fresh, any leftover pecans can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week. The milk and espresso should be freshly prepared each time, but you can use previously made espresso if you’re on a busy schedule.

Reheating Instructions

If you need to warm up leftover milk (which, let’s be real, is the best way to sip on this latte), simply heat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Refrain from bringing it to a boil again.

Freezer Friendly?

I wouldn’t recommend freezing this drink, as the milk can separate upon thawing and leave you with a less-than-appealing texture. Instead, straight-up prepare it fresh to enjoy the full creamy goodness!

And just like that, you’ve created a delicious coffee experience right in the comfort of your home! So, has your interest piqued? Will you be trying this Maple Pecan Coffee Latte soon? I definitely hope you do!
