Salty Canadian Iced Latte – Maple Butter Coffee Recipe

Introduction

This Iced Latte (Salty Canadian) is a rich and refreshing coffee drink with a delicious combination of bold espresso, sweet maple syrup, creamy milk, buttery foam, and just a tiny pinch of salt. The salted butter and maple syrup give this iced latte a unique flavor that is both sweet and slightly savory.

It is quick and easy to make at home and perfect for a refreshing morning coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces espresso, or one large shot
• 1½ teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste
• 1½ teaspoons butter, preferably cold
• A pinch of salt
• 3–4 ounces cold milk
• Ice, enough to fill the glass about three-quarters full

Instructions

1. Prepare the Glass

Fill a serving glass about three-quarters full with ice.

Pour the cold milk over the ice and set aside.

2. Combine the Espresso Mixture

Pour the freshly prepared espresso into a measuring cup or another container with enough room for frothing.

Add the maple syrup, butter, and a small pinch of salt.

3. Froth

Immediately use a handheld milk frother or immersion blender to blend the mixture until the butter is fully incorporated and a thick, creamy foam forms.

4. Build the Iced Latte

Slowly pour the frothy espresso mixture over the cold milk and ice.

Stir gently to combine the layers, or leave them slightly separated for a beautiful presentation.

5. Serve

Enjoy immediately with or without a straw.

Tips and Variations

• Adjust the sweetness: Add more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
• Make it dairy-free: Use dairy-free butter sticks along with oat milk or soy milk.
• No espresso machine? Instant espresso powder can be used as an alternative. Prepare it concentrated enough to provide a strong coffee flavor.
• Salted or unsalted butter: Either works well. If using salted butter, you may want to reduce or skip the additional pinch of salt.

Conclusion

This Salty Canadian Iced Latte is a fun and flavorful twist on a traditional iced coffee. The combination of espresso, maple syrup, butter, salt, cold milk, and ice creates a smooth, creamy drink with the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
