Oh my goodness, these lattes are SO good! They have legit replaced my morning Starbucks coffee and that is saying A LOT! When you read on to learn how easy these are to make, you won’t believe it!
The first time I had a maple latte was when I was on my trip to Vermont in July. I got home and couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing maple latte I had….ok, really, all of the delicious maple treats I enjoyed. I knew I had to recreate the iced maple latte at home.
I have always prefer iced coffee – even in the dead of the winter – so naturally, that is how I enjoy this drink, but you can enjoy it hot too. That’s the best part – it’s so flexible and SO tasty. This latte has the perfect amount of sweetness; nothing too overpowering.
Enough of my gushing about how much I love this drink. I bet you’re wondering how you can make a latte at home, aren’t you? It’s so easy – a few quick steps and a mason jar is all it takes!
How to make an iced maple latte at home:
- Pour milk and shake vigorously
- Microwave
- Add maple syrup and foam
- Stir and enjoy!
Of course, there are a few more details in the recipe below, but really it’s as simple as it sounds. And once you make this iced maple latte at home once, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been doing it all along. Making your latte at home just saved you $5! I’d love to hear – now what will you do with that extra $5 everyday?
Once you start making these lattes at home, I think you’ll be addicted. So, if you loved the homemade maple latte, I have another one for you to try! My homemade iced salted honey latte is the one where I learned just how simple it was to make lattes at home. Hope you enjoy!
- 1 cup milk
- 1½ cups coffee (or espresso), at room temperature (if you want a warm latte, you can leave your coffee warm and omit the ice)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 - 2 cups ice
- In a jar with a lid, pour milk (2% or whole milk) and shake vigorously back and forth for a minute, until foamy. Take off the lid and microwave for 15 seconds.
- Fill two large glasses (or mason jars) with ice. Pour coffee evenly between the glasses.
- Drizzle in maple syrup between two cups. If you like your lattes a little on the sweeter side, use a little more maple syrup per cup.
- Using a spoon, hold back the foam and pour a little milk into each glass. Then, take spoonfuls of the foam to add on top of the latte.
- Stir to combine and then enjoy!

The maple latte looks delicious and exactly like something I would enjoy. I can’t wait to try it. My morning drink of choice, at this moment, is chai latte. I’ve been enjoying chai for a while now.
I think you’ll love it! I love chai lattes too!
I like mine hot with Irish Cream. Do you have a recipe fokr that?
Oh you know what – my grandmother-in-law has an awesome recipe for homemade Irish cream, i’ll ask her for that and share it this winter!
Holy heck, this was good! I’m an iced coffee fan as well and just bought some Starbucks Caramel syrup (I like just a hint of sweetness), when I saw this recipe. This was so easy and tasty (and a lot more natural than the caramel syrup ingredients!)! Perfect alternative to pumpkin flavor for fall! I guess my syrup bottle will be shelving it for a bit! Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so glad you liked this, thank you so much for your super sweet comment!!!
I loved this I usually only like mocha Frappuccino. I think I have a new drink
Mocha frappaccinos are amazing, but I think you’ll love this one too 🙂
German Chocolate Cappuccino for me
Definitely going to have to try this! I love a cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks.
I think you’d love this – and yes to those cinnamon dolce lattes!
Yum! This sounds good and easy!!! My fall go-tos are pumpkin spice latte and chai latte (both made with almond milk).
My faves are either a iced mocha made with skim milk or Indian style chai (hot).
Oh yum, I love iced mochas!
Thai iced coffee, all the way. Though this recipe sounds awesome, and I am going to have to try it.
Me too, I love iced coffee always and always 🙂
My favorite coffee is hot with a generous dash of Irish cream and a dollop of real whipped cream.
Oh yum, sounds delish!
My fave day off coffee is a lovely cinnamon dolce latte, with real cream whipped top.
it’s perfect for the days I have time to truly sit back and savor the subtle layers of cinnamon, coffee and sweet cream. My guilty indulgence 🙂
It sounds soooo good!
Sounds so good. I’ll have to try it soon
I think you’ll love it!
It is hard to pick a favorite. I usually go for a vanilla latte. If I want richness i go for a white mocha with a bit of whipped cream. This summer in Italy I was all about the foamy cappucino.
Yum, both sound good!
I’m not a coffee lover, but my cafe go-to favorite is always some type of hot apple cider!
Yum, that sounds delish!
Who doesn’t love coffee?? My favorite is pretty much anything with coconut flavor and it’s a double win if it’s a local cafe!!
Isn’t coffee amazing? I love local cafes and the unique drinks I find there 🙂
