Ingredients
Coffee Mixture
- 2 oz espresso (a large shot of espresso)
- 1½ tsp maple syrup (or to taste)
- 1½ tsp butter (preferably cold, salted or unsalted)
- Pinch of salt
Other
- 3–4 oz cold milk
- Ice (enough to fill the glass three-quarters full)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a glass three-quarters full with ice cubes to ensure your latte stays cold and refreshing. Then pour the cold milk over the ice, letting it chill while you prepare the coffee mixture.
- Mix ingredients: Brew a large shot of espresso (about 2 oz) and pour it into a measuring cup or a glass with enough room for frothing. Add the maple syrup, butter, and a pinch of salt to this espresso.
- Froth the mixture: Using a handheld frother or an immersion blender, immediately blend the espresso mixture until the butter is fully incorporated and a thick, creamy foam forms on top. This will create a rich and slightly frothy texture.
- Assemble the latte: Slowly pour the frothy coffee mixture over the milk and ice in your prepared glass. Stir gently to combine all elements and balance the flavors. Your Iced Latte (Salty Canadian) is now ready to be enjoyed, with or without a straw.
Notes
- Use cold, unsalted or salted butter depending on your salt preference; salted butter will enhance the salty note.
- Maple syrup quantity can be adjusted to your desired sweetness level.
- For best foam, froth immediately after mixing ingredients.
- Adjust milk quantity based on glass size and desired coffee-to-milk ratio.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
