Instructions

Tips
- Espresso Quality Matters: Use freshly brewed espresso for the most robust flavor. If you don't have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can work as a substitute.
- Syrup Secrets: For the most authentic taste, look for sugar cookie syrup in specialty coffee stores or online. You can also make a homemade version using vanilla extract and simple syrup.
- Milk Temperature: Ensure your almond milk is cold to maintain that refreshing iced latte experience.
- Layering Technique: Pour espresso slowly over milk to create a beautiful gradient effect in your glass.
- Garnish Game: Experiment with different sprinkles or even crushed sugar cookies for an extra touch of whimsy.
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to adjust syrup quantities to suit your personal sweetness preference.
