Toasted Marshmallow Latte Starbucks Copycat
A cozy, indulgent latte that captures the essence of toasted marshmallows by the campfire.
Indulge in the nostalgic flavors of summer campfires with our Toasted Marshmallow Latte. This comforting beverage combines rich espresso with a homemade toasted marshmallow syrup, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and depth. The recipe draws inspiration from the beloved Starbucks version, but with a homemade twist that allows you to customize the flavors to your liking.
We use a medium-dark roast espresso to provide a robust coffee base that stands up to the sweetness of the marshmallow. The syrup is made by carefully toasting marshmallows to achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior and gooey interior, then blending them into a smooth syrup. This method infuses the latte with an authentic toasted marshmallow flavor that store-bought syrups simply can't match.
