What Is in the Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte?

There are three simple ingredients: almond milk, espresso, and sugar cookie syrup. As a delightful blend of flavors, this drink evokes a special holiday feeling. 

One of the tastiest Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte ingredients is the irresistible sugar cookie syrup, which resembles freshly baked cookies. So yummy! And it pairs well with the creamy texture of both almond milk and hot espresso.

How to Make Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte

Some Starbucks lattes are iced and popular because they are infinitely customizable and easier to make than hot lattes. An iced latte is made using espresso and milk mixed over ice. They don’t need any milk frothing, and you can easily change the flavors by adding different syrups and ingredients. One such drink is an Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk latte.

Starbucks introduced Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk latte in 2021, and it became one of our favorite holiday flavors (1). Now that you know what this drink contains, it’s time to learn how to make it at home.

Step 1: Make Sugar Cookie Syrup

Bring cheer to your holiday season by making sugar cookie syrup. First off, put water and sugar in a saucepan. Once this simple mixture boils, lower the heat and let the cookie syrup simmer for 10 minutes. The sugar needs to completely dissolve, and the syrup should thicken.

Then, add the vanilla extract, butter extract, and almond extract. Stir all the ingredients together. Finally, pour the sugar cookie syrup into a mason jar and let it cool.

If you want an authentic sugar cookie flavor, you must use the butter extract for the sugar cookie flavored syrup. Interestingly, you can use real butter instead of butter extract. One of the cons is that it tends to harden once the syrup cools down, making it somewhat grainy.

Step 2: Brew Espresso

Starbucks uses blonde roast espresso to make the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk latte. Blonde roast is more lightly roasted compared to other beans (2). Because people rost the beans for a shorter period of time, the coffee is smoother and sweeter. You’ll also get your energy kick since it has more caffeine. 

Equipment: The Nespresso machine is best for blonde espresso. You can buy Starbucks blonde roast coffee beans if you have an espresso machine. Regardless of your chosen method, you need 2 oz of blonde espresso.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

Pour sugar cookie syrup over the ice, add espresso, and stir to combine. Finally, add almond milk and mix well. Pay attention that the original Starbucks recipe calls for almond milk, but you can use oat milk. Lastly, we like to top the drink with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles for some extra holiday cheer. 

Finally, if you love this drink, make sure to try other Starbucks holiday drink copycats, such as the Nutella Latte and the classic Gingerbread Latte recipe.

Final Thoughts

Starbucks Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk latte brings the best of both worlds: the rich flavors of almond milk and the comforting sweetness of sugar cookies, with an invigorating espresso kick. It’s a perfect holiday treat and so easy to recreate. Plus, the almond milk gives the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte a lightly creamy and refreshing flavor.
