Can I make this latte vegan?

Absolutely! To make your Iced French Toast Latte vegan, simply substitute the heavy cream and milk with plant-based alternatives, such as almond, oat, or soy milk. You can also use vegan butter in your syrup mixture for a completely dairy-free version.

What can I use instead of espresso?

If you don’t have espresso, you can replace it with strong brewed coffee or a concentrated coffee substitute. Instant coffee is also an excellent alternative. Just mix two tablespoons of instant coffee with six ounces of hot water to achieve the right strength.

How can I adjust the sweetness of my latte?

Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference. If you like it sweeter, add more brown sugar or maple syrup during the syrup preparation step. Conversely, you can reduce or eliminate syrup altogether based on your taste.

Can I make the syrup ahead of time?

Yes, the French toast syrup can be prepared in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Whenever you’re ready to enjoy your latte, just reheat the syrup slightly and combine it with your ice and coffee!

What are some good snacks to pair with this latte?

This latte pairs wonderfully with breakfast muffins, creamy toast, or granola bars. For a balanced treat, you can have it alongside nutty protein bites or fruit-based snacks. Sharing these treats with your latte enhances the whole experience!
