Can I use different sweeteners instead of maple syrup?

Absolutely! While maple syrup provides a distinctive flavor, you can use alternatives like agave syrup, honey, or a sugar substitute of your choice if preferred. Just remember that different sweeteners will alter the flavor profile slightly, so choose one that suits your palate!

What type of non-dairy milk works best for this latte?

The best non-dairy milk options include almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk. Each of these brings its own unique flavor and creaminess to the latte. For a creamier texture, opt for barista blends specifically designed to foam well!

Is there a way to make this drink cold instead of hot?

Definitely! To make a cold version of the Maple Sea Salt Latte, brew the espresso and allow it to cool. Pour it over ice and then top it with cold non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and sea salt for a refreshing summer sip!

How can I store leftover ingredients?

If you have leftover ingredients like non-dairy milk or maple syrup, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Non-dairy milk typically lasts for about 7 to 10 days while maple syrup can last for months when kept in the fridge.

Can I make this latte decaf?

Yes! You can easily use decaffeinated coffee or espresso in this recipe for a delightful treat without the caffeine hit. This way, you can enjoy the flavors anytime, even close to bedtime!
