Make your own refreshing Iced Mint Latte at home! It's the best of both a creamy, espresso-forward latte and sweet, invigorating mint. It's easy to make in just a few minutes and is affordable!
Mint Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and mint leaves over medium heat. Bring to a simmer until sugar is dissolved, then 2 or so more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, taste test to see if the mint flavor is strong enough. If it is, strain the leaves. If not, let the mint infuse for up to 15 more minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Latte: Brew espresso or strong coffee as needed (or use cold brew concentrate) and add it to a drinking glass. Stir in the mint syrup and fill the glass with ice. Top with milk and stir to combine as needed.
Notes
Milk: any type of milk will work; I recommend whole milk or oat milk as a dairy-free option.
Ratio: if using strongly brewed coffee instead of espresso, consider using more coffee (or less milk) for a more authentic latte flavor.
Syrup Serving: the syrup yields about 3/4 cup, or approximately 6 servings when using 2 TBSP per drink. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
