Description

A naturally sweetened vanilla cardamom latte made with espresso, warm spices, and pure maple syrup. Cozy, aromatic, and simple to make at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 double shot espresso
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing a double shot of espresso and pouring it into a heat-safe mug. Keeping the espresso hot helps maintain balance once the milk is added.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat with the maple syrup, cardamom, and vanilla. Whisk gently and continuously, heating just until warm and lightly frothy – avoid boiling to preserve flavor and texture. Alternatively, whisk maple syrup, cardamom, and vanilla into your prepared espresso using a hand frother, then heat and froth your milk using a milk frother.
  3. Pour prepared milk over the espresso. Finish with an optional sprinkle of cardamom and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Start with less cardamom and adjust to taste.
  • Freshly ground cardamom provides the most aroma.
  • Dairy-free milks may froth differently depending on brand.
  • Best enjoyed fresh. Spiced milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
