FAQs

How do I store leftover latte?

If you have any leftover latte, pour it into a sealed jar or container and place it in the fridge. It will stay good for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before drinking again, as ingredients may settle.

Can I make this drink hot?

Yes, you can. Skip the ice and heat your milk before adding it to the espresso mixture. Froth the milk if possible for a creamier texture, then pour it over the sweetened espresso and stir well.

What kind of coffee should I use?

Instant espresso works best for speed and flavor. You can also use a shot of fresh espresso or very strong brewed coffee. Choose whichever you prefer based on your setup and taste.

What are the substitutes for brown sugar?

Maple syrup or coconut sugar are great natural alternatives. If you’re watching your sugar intake, monk fruit sweetener or erythritol can work too. Just adjust to taste since sweetness levels vary.

What does it taste like ?

The Iced Teddy Graham Latte tastes like a sweet, creamy blend of cinnamon, honey, and brown sugar with a mellow espresso kick. It’s smooth and cozy, like sipping a liquid version of a graham cracker dipped in warm milk. The flavor is nostalgic, comforting, and just rich enough to feel indulgent without being too heavy. Perfect balance of sweet spice and coffee.
