the iced maple americano

Ingredients:

• 1-2 shots of espresso

• 1-2 tsp maple syrup (the real stuff)

• 1- 1 ½ c ice cubes

• Splash of water

• ¼ c milk of choice (I like Elmhurst UNSWEETENED MILKED ALMONDS™)

• Cinnamon

Instructions:

• Add maple syrup to warm espresso and stir.

• Pour espresso over ice and add a splash of water (I usually fill glass until half full).

• Use hand blender or milk frother to create cold foam (blend until a stiff layer of foam forms).

• Using a spoon and preserving the foam layer, pour milk over iced espresso.

• Spoon foam on top, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!

Tips:

• Replace espresso and water with cold brew or remove ice and serve warm.

• Pair with your favorite waffle, pancake or breakfast sandwich.

• Substitute maple syrup for 1 maple candy or honey.
