A gourmet latte with a savory twist – made with bacon-infused maple syrup for an unforgettable sweet-and-salty flavor​:contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}. It’s like breakfast in a cup, complete with a candied bacon garnish.

Ingredients

  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 shot espresso (or 1/3 cup strong coffee)
  • Candied bacon strip (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. 1Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it just starts to crisp. Remove and drain the bacon, reserving the bacon drippings for another use.
  2. 2Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the maple syrup to the same pan and return the bacon to the syrup. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. 3Transfer the bacon-infused syrup to a heatproof container and let cool slightly. (The bacon slices will have become candied; you can use one as garnish.)
  4. 4Brew a shot of espresso and pour it into a mug. Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of the bacon-infused maple syrup, or to taste.
  5. 5Heat and froth the milk, then pour it into the espresso. Stir gently to combine.
  6. 6Garnish with a piece of candied bacon and enjoy warm.
