S'mores Lattes at Home

By A'Dell

I love my Nespresso Citiz an awful lot. We're almost a year into ownership and I'm SUPER happy with the machine, product, performance, and ease of re-ordering capsules. Good buy, that Nespresso Citiz Espresso machine.

I like the coffee well enough with a splash of steamed milk, but what I really like to do is load up my cup with flavored syrups. We've amassed quite a variety of your standard falvors (Vanilla, Almond) plus some offbeat bottles (Macadamia Nut, Raspberry, Cinnamon). My favorite these days is Toasted Marshmallow from Monin.

It's really good. My husband bought this one and I rolled my eyes because COME ON that sounds sounds a little gross. But if you pair it with chocolate? YOU HAVE CREATED A S'MORES LATTE. (No graham flavor, but you can add some vanilla syrup if you feel like it.) Would you care for an official list of ingredients?

Espresso and Steamed Milk (whatever ratios float your boat)

One teaspoon to one tablespoon of Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix, depending on your desired level or chocolate-y

One-half to one pump of Monin Toasted Marshmallow Syrup 

Optional: One-half pump of Vanilla syrup

This sounds like The Next Big Coffee Thing at Starbucks, doesn't it? (S'MORES LATTES! OMG! PEOPLE WILL FLOCK!) Well, now you can save yourself a stack of five-dollar-bills and make them at home before they get around this hot flavor profile.

I buy my syrups for about $7 for a 750ml bottle from Lollicup USA and I have always had a great experience with them. Their shipping can be spendy if you only order one or two bottles, so the trick is to stock up on all you'll need for a long while.

The Starbucks Cafe at Barnes and Noble carries a Toasted Marshmallow Latte some times in the fall. I can't wait to try this!!

I think I could drink about a gallon of this right now.
