Salty Canadian Iced Latte

If you love a coffee that hits sweet, salty, creamy, and bold all at once, you need to try this Salty Canadian Iced Latte. It combines rich espresso, real butter, a pinch of salt, and pure maple syrup, all poured over your milk of choice and plenty of ice.
Think of it as a cozy Canadian-inspired twist on your everyday iced latte—with a surprisingly delicious buttery finish.

What Is a Salty Canadian Iced Latte?
The idea is simple: espresso + butter + salt + maple syrup + milk + ice.
The maple syrup brings natural sweetness, while the salt enhances the coffee and maple flavors. A small amount of butter adds richness and gives the latte an extra-smooth, almost velvety texture.
It might sound unusual at first, but that's exactly what makes this drink so fun—and so craveable.

Salty Canadian Iced Latte

For one iced latte, you'll need:

• 2 shots espresso
• 1 teaspoon butter, preferably unsalted (slightly chilled butter gives a better froth)
• 1–2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, to taste
• A small pinch of sea salt
• ¾–1 cup milk of your choice
• Ice

Milk Options
This recipe works beautifully with almost any milk. Try:

• Whole milk for the creamiest version
• Oat milk for a naturally sweet, silky latte
• Almond milk for a lighter option
• Coconut milk for a subtle tropical twist
• Your favorite dairy-free milk

How to Make a Salty Canadian Iced Latte
1. Brew your espresso
Pull two shots of fresh espresso into a small heatproof glass.

2. Add the maple syrup, butter, and salt
While the espresso is hot, stir in the maple syrup, butter, and a tiny pinch of salt.
Whisk or stir vigorously until the butter melts completely and everything is well combined.  A hand held frother is perfect for this task.

3. Fill your glass with ice
Grab your favorite tall glass and fill it generously with ice.

4. Add your milk
Pour your milk of choice over the ice, leaving a little room for the espresso mixture.

5. Pour in the espresso
Slowly pour the maple-butter espresso over the milk. Give everything a good stir and watch the creamy layers come together.
