Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

1. Spread the graham cracker crumbs on a small plate.
2. Dip the rim of your mug or glass in chocolate syrup, then dip it into the graham cracker crumbs, coating the rim completely. This creates that delightful, graham cracker “crust” that gives the s’mores feel.

Step 2: Heat the Milk

• In a small saucepan or with a milk frother, heat the milk until it’s warm and frothy, but avoid boiling.

Step 3: Mix the Espresso and S’mores Syrup

• Brew your espresso or strong coffee.
• Pour the espresso into your prepared mug, and stir in the s’mores syrup until well combined.

Step 4: Combine & Froth

• Pour the frothed milk over the espresso and s’mores syrup mixture in the mug. Stir gently to mix.

FAQs

Can I make this iced?
Yes! Just brew your coffee as usual and let it cool. Then, use cold milk (or milk substitute), pour it over ice, and garnish with the marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.

What if I don’t have s’mores syrup?
You can substitute with chocolate syrup and a splash of vanilla or caramel syrup to replicate the sweet, rich flavor of s’mores.

How can I toast the marshmallows?
If you’d like to add a toasted marshmallow taste, you can use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows once they’re on the latte. This adds an authentic campfire feel!

Is there a non-dairy option?
Absolutely! Almond, oat, or soy milk work well for this recipe and froth nicely for a creamy texture.

What’s the best way to get graham cracker crumbs to stick to the rim?
Use chocolate syrup or even a bit of marshmallow fluff on the rim before pressing it into the crumbs; both work well!
