This maple latte recipe uses real maple syrup to naturally sweeten freshly brewed espresso before it gets topped with steamed milk. It’s one of my favorite coffee recipes and is great hot or iced!

Maple is the unsung hero of fall flavors, in my opinion. Pumpkin usually gets all the attention with its flavored syrup and latte and cold foam (all of which are delicious!). I think it's time to change that!
Ingredients for this recipe
How to Make a Maple Latte
This is just a quick overview, find detailed instructions in the recipe card below!
Real Maple Syrup
The key to getting the real maple flavor of this naturally sweetened latte is to use pure maple syrup. You’ll want to look for a bottle or jar of syrup from the grocery store that says “pure” and/or “Grade A” maple syrup.
If the ingredients list anything other than “pure maple syrup” it’s a hard pass. The larger brands of syrup are usually just flavored corn syrup and definitely not what we want!
Iced Maple Latte Recipe
To make an iced version of a maple latte: combine your maple syrup and brewed espresso (plus the maple extract if using) in a tall glass. Fill the glass with a generous scoop of ice and top with the milk of your choice. Enjoy!
You could also use homemade cold brew coffee or cold brew coffee concentrate in place of the espresso if you don’t have an espresso machine! Or mix up some instant espresso in a pinch!
