Step by Step Instructions
1. Brew the coffee
Prepare one shot of espresso or brew strong coffee and pour it into your favorite mug.
2. Heat and froth the milk
Warm the milk on the stovetop or in the microwave. Froth if desired using a milk frother, whisk, or jar with a lid. Or use an electric frother/steamer and simply push a button. This is my absolute favorite, and it’s dishwasher safe!
3. Sweeten with teddy graham syrup
Stir 1–2 tablespoons of homemade teddy graham simple syrup into the coffee, adjusting to taste.
4. Assemble
Pour the warm milk over the sweetened coffee.
5. Top and enjoy
Add whipped cream if you’d like, then finish with crushed teddy grahams or a drizzle of syrup for an extra cozy touch.
Iced Teddy Graham Latte Option
This latte is just as good iced.
- Fill a glass with ice
- Add espresso or strong coffee
- Stir in teddy graham simple syrup
- Froth cold milk using handheld frother or electric frother
- Pour milk over the top of coffee mixture
- Stir and enjoy (or add Teddy Graham Cold Foam for a special treat!)
Flavor Variations and Add Ins
- Extra cozy: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
- Creamy dessert style: Use half and half or oat milk
- Coffee free: Swap coffee for steamed (or foamed for iced option) milk to make a Teddy Graham steamer – my kids LOVE this!

- Indulgent Iced: Add Teddy Graham Cold Foam to your iced latte for an indulgent treat

This Teddy Graham Latte proves that homemade coffee can feel just as special as a coffee shop drink (if not better!), especially when it’s made with a syrup that tastes like childhood.
