Pecan Praline Latte w/Cold Foam

Rumor has it that Starbucks will have a new Pecan flavor on their fall menu this year. So I decided to share how I make my pecan syrup at home! It is incredibly tasty, nutty, and rich. I love being able to control how much sweetness and flavor goes into my lattes, so making it at home is awesome!

INGREDIENTS for syrup

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • 2g salt (1/2 tsp Maldon flakes OR 1/4 tsp table salt)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • optional: cinnamon stick, cloves, or nutmeg

RECIPE

  1. Add the brown sugar and water to a small saucepan and place over medium heat.

  2. When the sugar has completely dissolved, drop the heat to low and add the chopped pecans.

  3. Optional: If you want to add any spices such as cinnamon, clove, or nutmeg, now would be the time.

  4. After 2-3 minutes, remove from heat and strain this syrup into a heatproof container.

  5. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Add a bit extra salt to taste if you want more of a salted pecan flavor!

  6. Once it has cooled, you can transfer the syrup to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for a month or two. Alternatively, you can double the amount of sugar in this recipe to create a thicker syrup which should hold up for longer and won’t require refrigeration.

ENJOY!
