As a side note, I wanted to share a basic recipe and let you get extra creative with it.

So make sure you play around with what you add and how much you add to create YOUR perfect drink!

Viral Teddy Graham Latte Recipe Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this graham cracker latte. Scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the detailed ingredient measurements. 

• Espresso: provides a strong coffee base. If you don’t have an espresso machine, instant espresso or even instant coffee will work!
• Brown Sugar: adds a rich caramel-like sweetness that complements the coffee. If you love rich, cookie-inspired coffee flavors, you can also try my brown butter cookie latte
• Cinnamon: infuses warm and spicy notes.
• Honey: offers a natural sweetness that balances the bitterness of the espresso. Use the amount of honey that is perfect for you to tailor this drink to your preference! For a plant-based option, you can also use maple syrup instead of honey! If you enjoy honey-sweetened coffee, my Honey Oat Milk Latte is another cozy option.
• A Pinch of Salt: enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.
• Milk: provides a creamy texture and rounds out the flavors. You can use regular milk or any dairy-free milk option like coconut milk, soy milk, or even oat milk!

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

How do I store leftover Teddy Graham Latte?

First, remove the ice so it doesn’t melt and water down your drink. To do so, either fish the cubes out with a fork or pour the liquid from one cup to another through a fine-mesh sieve. Once you remove the ice, store it in an airtight container like a mason jar and put it in the fridge. It should last for 3-4 days.

What kind of milk should I use?

You can honestly use whatever type of milk you want! Whole milk gives the best texture, but 2% or fat-free milk works too. Plant-based options like oat milk or almond milk will work as well. If you enjoy creamy coffee drinks, my Spanish Latte is another easy option that uses milk and espresso.

What kind of coffee should I use?

Freshly brewed espresso or strongly brewed drip coffee is best for flavor. But to save time, you can use instant coffee or cold brew if it’s easier or more convenient for you.

Can I use a substitute for the brown sugar?

Sure! Swap the brown sugar and even the honey for a sugar-free alternative like brown monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or sugar-free syrup to fit your preference. If you want to experiment with homemade sweeteners, my homemade coffee syrup recipes has plenty of different flavors to try. Just know the Teddy Graham latte will taste different because the brown sugar and honey add flavor, but it will still be a delicious sweet treat.

Can I make this drink hot instead of iced?

Absolutely! Heat your milk before adding it to the espresso mixture, and skip the ice for a warm version.

How can I make my Teddy Graham Latte even better?

There are so many fun ways to take this latte to the next level! Try these:

• Cookie Butter Dream: Stir in cookie butter and sprinkle Biscoff crumbles on top instead of the Teddy Grahams. If you love that flavor combination, check out my Cookie Butter Latte for another Biscoff-inspired coffee drink.
• S’mores Style: Add toasted marshmallow fluff, a drizzle of chocolate, and crushed graham crackers.
• Cinnamon Roll Vibes: Mix in brown sugar and cinnamon, then top with vanilla cold foam.
