Caramel Latte with Skinny Syrup
The Starbucks Iced Caramel Brulée Latte is one of the most popular lattes, and for a good reason. Unfortunately, this classic favorite contains 44 grams of sugar per Grande cup. Luckily, creating a copycat recipe with far less sugar using skinny syrups for coffee is easy.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Skinny Syrups Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup (4 pumps)
- 12 oz of any coffee
- Nonfat milk
- Ice (if served cold)
- Optional: Whipped Cream
Depending on your preference, this can be made either in hot or cold (served over ice) form.
Start by mixing four pumps of Skinny Syrups Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup with 12 oz of coffee in a large mug or cup.
Next, add the desired amount of any non-fat milk. Stir well with a coffee frother or a spoon.
Top with whipped cream, if desired. You can also top it with Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Sauce for the “drizzle” effect.
Pistachio Latte
Starbucks’ hot and iced Pistacho Lattes’ are another two fan favorites. Using skinny syrups for coffee in the Sugar-Free Pistachio flavor, you can easily create a lower-sugar version of this popular drink.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Sugar-Free Pistachio Syrup (3 pumps)
- Choice of milk
- Two shots of espresso
- Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce
- Ice (if served cold)
Note: If you’re trying to cut carbs, such as those on the keto diet, choose the type of milk you use for this recipe carefully. Milk alternatives, such as unsweetened almond or coconut milk, are lower-carb options than traditional milk. Plant-based milk alternatives are also great for those following a dairy-free or vegan diet.
To make a Skinny Syrup Pistachio Latte, first begin by steaming the milk (if making a hot latte) on the stovetop.
Next, pour your milk into a bowl and froth it using a whisk or milk frother. Then, brew your espresso (or very bold coffee if espresso is not available).
Combine the frothed milk and espresso into a glass. Add ice if making an iced version of this recipe. Now, add three pumps of your sugar-free Pistachio Syrup. This amount can be adjusted accordingly, based on your sweetness preferences. To complete your Pistachio Latte, drizzle some sugar-free Caramel Sauce on top.
