Scale
Sweetened Espresso Mixture
- 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- â…› teaspoon ground cinnamon
- â…› teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ounces espresso
Assembly
- Ice (enough to fill a 20 or 24-ounce cup)

Instructions
- Combine Sweeteners and Flavorings: Add 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, ⅛ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt to a heat-safe glass.
- Add Espresso and Froth: Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly into the glass containing the sweetened mixture. Use a hand frother to whip the ingredients until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes pale and frothy, creating a flavorful base.
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a 20 or 24-ounce cup with ice cubes to chill the drink and provide texture.

Notes
- Adjust the milk quantity based on how strong you prefer your coffee flavor.
- Using vanilla bean paste enhances the authentic vanilla flavor, but vanilla extract can be substituted if needed.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- To make this drink sweeter or less sweet, adjust the amount of maple syrup and brown sugar accordingly.
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and froth consistency.
