Medium Roast Iced Mojito Mint Latte
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (traditional or dairy-free is fine)
- 10 Millcreek Gardens mojito mint leaves
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- ¼ cup Bent Tree Guatemalan Medium Roast Blend, cold
- 1 cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Combine the mint leaves and the vanilla in a mason jar and muddle with a flat spoon or fork. This will help the mint flavor to infuse with the vanilla extract. Add a drop or two of green food coloring for extra mint-like color, if desired. Shake to combine. This syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Brew the coffee however you like and allow to cool a bit before making the latte.
- Stir together the coffee and the prepared simple syrup in a glass. Top with ice and milk.
- Stir and enjoy!
