Most mornings I’m perfectly ok with my “Plain Jane” coffee. Sometimes though, I like to add a little pizazz. During October I always think about Marshmallows, pumpkins and chocolate. Although those flavors combined might be fabulous in a dessert, not so much in a coffee. I’ll take marshmallows and chocolate though! A toasted marshmallow mocha latte?! Yes! Let’s do this!😉
How To Make Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
To get the toasted marshmallow flavor you’ll need to create a simple syrup, or you can purchase one. To make it, start by adding 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar to a medium saucepan.
Place it over medium heat and allow it to come to a gentle simmer. In the mean time toast 10 marshmallows. Try to avoid charring them as this will result in a bitter taste. A golden brown to a dark brown color is the perfect toastedness…is that word??
Add in the marshmallows. They will puff up like they will bubble over, but don’t be alarmed, it will go down and dissolve into the sugar water creating a beautiful honey color. Once this happens (about 5 minutes ) you can turn the heat off and allow the syrup to cool slightly then stir in ½ tsp of vanilla extract.
Use a fine mesh strainer to get any toasted bits out and then transfer to a glass jar for storage. This syrup will last a month in the fridge. Now you’re ready to make a toasted marshmallow mocha latte.
How to Make A Toasted Marshmallow Mocha Latte
Pour 4 oz of strong brewed coffee or espresso into a mug. Add 1½ Tbsp of chocolate syrup and 2-3 Tbsp of the toasted marshmallow syrup. Adjust to your liking. Heat and froth 1/2 cup of milk ( heat 3/4 cup If you use non-dairy milk, or adjust to your liking ).
Pour the milk into the coffee and top with toasted marshmallows or whipped cream if desired. Viola! Now you know how to make a toasted marshmallow mocha latte. Enjoy!
Psst! Try it with my Pumpkin Jelly Donut Muffins for an ultimate cozy fall experience!
