HOW TO MAKE Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons toasted marshmallow syrup
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup or 3 tablespoons pumpkin spice sauce
- 2 oz espresso
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- Ice
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Make the Marshmallow Cold Foam: Start by making the marshmallow cold foam. Take a small glass or jar. Add the heavy cream, toasted marshmallow syrup, and whole milk. Use a milk frother to froth this mixture for about 10 to 20 seconds, or until it becomes foamy. Set this delicious foam aside for later.
- Prepare the Iced Latte: Next, grab a tall glass and fill it with ice. Pour in the pumpkin spice syrup. This will give your drink a rich pumpkin flavor. Then, add the espresso on top of the syrup.
- Add the Milk: Now, pour in your choice of milk. It can be whole milk, almond milk, or any other type you like. Stir the drink well to combine all the flavors beautifully.
- Top with Marshmallow Cold Foam: Finally, take your marshmallow cold foam and spoon it on top of your drink. This will give you a creamy layer that is both pretty and tasty.
- Drink and Enjoy: Your Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte is ready! Sip it slowly and savor the wonderful mix of flavors.
HOW TO SERVE Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte
When serving the Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, consider using a clear glass to show off the beautiful layers. You might also want to top each drink with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra touch. Add a straw or a spoon for easy sipping. This drink is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a cozy movie night.
STORAGE & FREEZING : Iced Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte
If you have leftover drinks, you can store them in the fridge for a short time. Just remember that the foam may lose some of its texture. To store, place the latte in an airtight container. It’s best to consume it within one day for the freshest taste.
Freezing this latte is not recommended because the texture will change. The ice will melt and make the drink watery, and the foam will not freeze well. It is best enjoyed fresh.
