Iced Salted Maple Latte

There’s something about maple that makes an ordinary cup of coffee feel extra special. This Iced Salted Maple Latte combines rich espresso, sweet maple flavor, creamy milk, and a tiny pinch of sea salt for a perfectly balanced drink that feels like a little treat in a glass.

It’s cold, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make at home. Whether you’re easing into a busy morning or looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, this homemade latte comes together in just a few minutes—no coffee shop run required.

Why You’ll Love This Iced Maple Latte

This latte is all about balance. The maple syrup adds a cozy, naturally sweet flavor to bold espresso, while a generous pinch of sea salt enhances the sweetness and keeps the drink from tasting overly sugary.

And because you can use whatever milk you have on hand, it’s easy to customize. Try whole milk for a rich and creamy latte, or your favorite non-dairy milk for a dairy-free version.

Best of all, you only need a handful of ingredients!

Ingredients

2 shots of espresso
1–2 tablespoons Pyure Organics Maple Flavored Syrup
A generous pinch of sea salt
Ice
Milk of your choice

How to Make an Iced Salted Maple Latte

1. Brew the espresso

Start by brewing two shots of your favorite espresso. While the espresso is hot, it’s the perfect time to add the maple syrup and salt so everything blends together smoothly.

2. Add the maple and sea salt

Stir 1–2 tablespoons of maple-flavored syrup into the hot espresso, depending on how sweet you like your latte.

Add a generous pinch of sea salt and stir until the syrup and salt are completely dissolved and incorporated into the espresso.

Tip: Start with a smaller amount of syrup if you prefer a less-sweet coffee, then add more to taste.

3. Fill your glass with ice

Grab your favorite glass and fill it generously with ice. For an extra-cold latte, use plenty of ice—it will also help create that refreshing iced-coffee experience.

4. Add the milk

Pour your milk of choice over the ice, leaving a little room for the espresso mixture.

5. Pour, stir, and enjoy!

Pour the salted maple espresso over the milk. Give everything a good stir, then take a sip and enjoy your homemade Iced Salted Maple Latte.

The Best Milk for a Maple Latte

The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it with whatever milk you love. Whole milk will give you the richest, creamiest result, while oat milk pairs especially well with the warm flavor of maple.

Almond, soy, coconut, or any other favorite milk can work, too. Feel free to experiment until you find your perfect combination.

Tips for the Perfect Iced Latte

Adjust the sweetness. Start with 1 tablespoon of maple-flavored syrup and add more if you prefer a sweeter latte.

Don't skip the salt. It may seem like a small addition, but sea salt helps bring out the maple flavor and creates that delicious sweet-and-salty balance.

Use strong espresso. Since the espresso is poured over ice and milk, a bold espresso helps keep the coffee flavor from getting lost.

Want it extra cold? Let your espresso cool for a minute or two before pouring it over the ice. You can also make espresso ice cubes if you want to avoid diluting your drink.

Make It Your Own

Once you've mastered the basic recipe, there are plenty of ways to customize your latte. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor, or top it with a little cold foam for a coffee-shop-style finish.

For an extra indulgent version, drizzle a little maple syrup around the inside of your glass before adding the ice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without an espresso machine?

Absolutely. You can use strongly brewed coffee, cold brew concentrate, or another espresso-style coffee substitute. Just keep in mind that the flavor and strength may vary.

Can I use regular maple syrup?

Yes! Pure maple syrup can be used in place of maple-flavored syrup. Start with 1 tablespoon and adjust the sweetness to your liking.

What kind of salt should I use?

A pinch of fine sea salt works particularly well because it dissolves easily into the warm espresso. The key is to use just enough to enhance the maple flavor without making the latte taste salty.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Definitely. Simply use your favorite dairy-free milk. Oat milk is a particularly delicious pairing with maple.
