Print Recipe

A cozy and comforting creamy apple cider latte made with homemade brown sugar syrup, perfect for chilly days and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh apple cider (unfiltered preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or milk of choice (oat milk recommended for creaminess)
  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup dark brown sugar, ¼ cup water, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Warm the Apple Cider: Pour 1 cup apple cider into a separate saucepan and heat over medium until steaming but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Heat and Froth the Milk: Warm 1 cup milk in a microwave or on the stove until hot but not boiling (about 1-2 minutes). Froth the milk using a frother or whisk vigorously until light and foamy. Alternatively, shake warm milk in a sealed jar.
  4. Combine the Latte: Pour the warmed apple cider into a mug, add 2-3 tablespoons of brown sugar syrup (adjust sweetness to taste). Slowly pour the frothed milk over the cider, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg or extra cinnamon on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not boil the apple cider to preserve its bright flavor. Adjust syrup thickness by adding water or simmering longer. Use cold milk for better froth. Warm syrup gently if too thick before mixing. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of brown sugar syrup.
