A homemade lemon elderberry latte is a comforting, flavorful drink. The key is to mix the syrups with the cold milk before heating to prevent curdling, then combine with your coffee or espresso.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lemon syrup (recipe below, or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons GRACE Elderberry Co. elderberry syrup
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (8 ounces)
  • 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, oat, almond, etc.)
  • Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Quick Lemon Syrup (Optional). If you don't have lemon syrup on hand, you can quickly make a basic one.

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Prepare the Coffee: Pull two shots of espresso or brew 1/2 cup of strong coffee.

  2. Combine Syrups and Milk: In a small saucepan, combine the cold milk, lemon syrup, and elderberry syrup. Stir well to ensure the syrups are fully mixed in.

  3. Heat and Froth the Milk: Gently heat the milk mixture over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk or use an immersion blender/steam wand to froth the milk to your desired consistency.

  4. Assemble the Latte: Pour the espresso or coffee into a large mug.

  5. Add Frothed Milk: Pour the frothed lemon elderberry milk into the mug with the coffee.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a pinch of fresh lemon zest if desired. Enjoy your latte immediately.
