Instructions
- Make the Sugar Cookie Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, brown sugar, vanilla extract, butter extract, and almond extract. Stir until sugar dissolves and the syrup is fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Prepare the Cold Foam: In a small bowl or frother, whisk together the heavy cream and a splash of sugar cookie syrup until thick and foamy. Set aside.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar cookie syrup and pour in the milk. Add the two shots of espresso and stir to combine.
- Top It Off: Spoon the sugar cookie cold foam over the latte. Finish with festive sprinkles and a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired. Add whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Serve: Enjoy your iced Sugar Cookie Latte immediately.
Notes
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk based on your preference. Oat milk works especially well for creaminess.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup.
