Description
At its core, a Maple Espresso Latte is a specialty coffee beverage consisting of one or two shots of concentrated espresso, steamed milk, and pure maple syrup. It belongs to the latte family, which is defined by its higher ratio of milk to coffee compared to a cappuccino or a macchiato. The distinguishing factor here is the use of maple as the primary sweetening agent.
