The Coffee That Makes This Work

Brazil Medium Roast is smooth, nutty, and low acid — it lets the apple crisp syrup and caramel lead without a fight. You could use another medium roast, like Dutch Apple Strudel or Apple Almond Crisp if it's available.

Ingredients

Macchiato

  • 6 oz. strong brewed Brazil Medium Roast or 1 espresso shot
  • 6 oz. oat milk
  • 2 Tbsp Apple Crisp Syrup, divided (full recipe here)
  • 1 Tbsp caramel sauce (optional)
  • Crushed ice
  • Apple Crisp Cold Foam (optional, below)

Apple Crisp Cold Foam

  • 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tbsp Apple Crisp Syrup

Method

Need the syrup first? Make a batch of Apple Crisp Syrup — it keeps a week in the fridge, so this drink comes together in minutes after that.

Iced

  1. In a tall tumbler, froth oat milk with 1 Tbsp caramel sauce and 1 Tbsp Apple Crisp Syrup until creamy. Fill ¾ full with crushed ice.
  2. In a mason jar, stir together 1 Tbsp Apple Crisp Syrup with brewed coffee.
  3. Pour coffee mixture over the frothed milk.
  4. Top with Apple Crisp Cold Foam and drizzle with caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

Hot

  1. Froth 6 oz oat milk with 1 Tbsp caramel sauce and 1 Tbsp Apple Crisp Syrup until warm and velvety.
  2. Brew 6 oz Brazil Medium Roast (or pull 1 espresso shot).
  3. Pour frothed milk into a mug, then gently pour the coffee over the top.
  4. Spoon on warm Apple Crisp Cold Foam if desired, drizzle with caramel, and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or sea salt.

✨ Barista tip: warm your mug first by filling it with hot water while you prep your milk and coffee.

Apple Crisp Cold Foam

  1. Combine heavy whipping cream with Apple Crisp Syrup.
  2. Froth to desired consistency and spoon over your drink.

Made this one? Brazil Medium Roast is available whole bean, ground, and K-Cups — so however you make your coffee, it works.
