How to Make a Peach Latte at Home

I’ll admit, I was a skeptic about peach in coffee. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect the first time I made a peach latte, but after my pleasant surprise with lemon cold foam, I was willing to give it a shot. And I’m glad I did. The peach flavor adds the perfect light, fruity sweetness that somehow works beautifully with rich espresso and creamy milk. Especially in a latte, the creamy like and fresh peach gives a perfect peaches and cream taste that just works.

This homemade peach latte tastes like something you’d order from a trendy coffee shop in the middle of summer, but it’s incredibly easy to make at home using homemade peach simple syrup. Whether you serve it hot or iced, this peach coffee recipe is smooth, refreshing, lightly sweet, and completely unique.

If you already made my homemade peach simple syrup or peach cold foam, this is the perfect next recipe to try.
