Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Latte

  • 2 oz espresso or strong brewed cup of coffee
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar cookie syrup
  • sprinkles and whipped cream optional

Instructions

Sugar Cookie Syrup

  • Combine the sugar and water in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved, about three minutes. 
  • Remove from the heat and stir in all three extracts. Pour into a jar with a lid and keep stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Latte

  • Brew the espresso, or strong brewed coffee according to the instructions on your coffee maker. Pour into a mug.
  • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared syrup to a glass with the warm milk. Use a frother to froth for roughly 20 seconds, or until the milk is foamy.
  • Carefully pour the frothed milk over the top of the espresso. Add whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkles for a festive finish.
  • That’s it! You just made a coffee that’s just as tasty as Starbucks without the need to leave your home!

Notes

No frother? No problem. Here is the mason jar method that I use frequently.
  1. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup and milk into a 16 oz mason jar. Secure the lid and shake as hard as you can for one minute.
  2. Remove the lid from the jar and microwave for 30 seconds. This will help the foam rise and stabilize.
  3. Pour the warm sweetened milk into the coffee and spoon the foam on top.
