Welcome to coffee heaven! This Iced Maple Pecan Latte is a delightful homemade version of a popular Starbucks seasonal favorite. Inspired by the cozy flavors of fall, this recipe combines the rich, bold taste of espresso with the sweet warmth of maple syrup and the nutty crunch of pecans.
We use a medium-dark roast coffee for a robust flavor that stands up to the sweetness of the maple syrup. The coffee is brewed as a strong espresso and then chilled to perfection. The star of this recipe is real maple syrup, which adds a complex sweetness that harmonizes beautifully with the toasted pecan syrup. A splash of creamy milk brings everything together, creating a smooth, indulgent drink that's perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon or as a special breakfast treat.
