Notes
Espresso: The iced sugar cookie almond milk latte Starbucks makes uses their Blonde Espresso, which is a softer, mellow light roast espresso. So if you're making at home, you can use their Blonde Espresso Nespresso capsules or a light-bodied espresso roast, or if you're swapping in regular brewed coffee opt for a dark roast like the Starbucks French Roast.Leftover Syrup: Depending on how much of the sugar cookie syrup you use for your latte, you will likely have some leftover -- feel free to save it for lattes later in the week or use to make multiple lattes at once!Make Ahead: You can make the copycat Starbucks sugar cookie syrup recipe up to 5 days in advance to have ready for quick lattes!
