Latte Ingredients
Espresso: depending on whether you’re making a hot or iced latte, we recommend using hot espresso or chilled espresso concentrate. If you can brew a blonde espresso, this is what Starbucks uses in-store. Vanilla extract: yes, more vanilla is added to the base of the latte. It is a sugar cookie latte after all!
Cold brew concentrate: Starbucks actually sells a cold brew coffee that would be a great supplement for the espresso. Or, you can make your own.Regular coffee: instead of using 2 oz. espresso, just brew a really strong cup of coffee!
Almond milk: we’re using unsweetened almond milk, but really any kind of milk will work such as cows, oat, or soy. Red & green sprinkles: since this is one of Starbucks’ holiday drinks, it wouldn’t be complete without red and green sprinkles!
