This brown sugar cardamom latte is made with a homemade brown sugar cardamom syrup that can make any cup or tea or coffee feel fancy and indulgent!
There is something indulgent about adding a sugary syrup to your morning coffee. Especially these days when we’re making coffee at home. Keeping up your coffee routine can get monotonous.
As a coffee addict (see these mocha cupcakes and mocha waffles) who used to frequently work out of various coffee shops, I like to think I know a little something about coffee.
I’ve been experimenting with lots of different ways to make a better cup of coffee at home, and making some of my coffee shop favorites at home!
Usually, I take my coffee black. But then there are days that I’m just craving something a little more for my coffee.
Whether it’s a little steamed milk or experimenting with some spices or extracts. It helps me get through the morning. (Can you tell I’m not a morning person?)
This brown sugar cardamom latte is definitely one that I can tell you lifts my spirits every time!
Brown Sugar Cardamom Latte
- The three parts to this latte are the Brown Sugar Cardamom Syrup, a shot of espresso, and some steamed milk.
- The ratio of the ingredients is just how I enjoy this latte. Experiment with less or more syrup, coffee, or milk as you enjoy your coffee drinks!
- I made the latte with a shot of espresso. But you can also replace it with a strong black coffee.
- Steamed milk really helps bring coffee together. You can use milk frother like this one I got from Amazon. You can also pour some warm milk into a mason jar, close the lid and shake it for about 30 seconds to get the bubbles.
I love making a big batch of this brown sugar cardamom syrup to keep in the fridge. It’s such an easy addition to my morning coffee or afternoon pick me up!
