Instructions
- In a milk pitcher, steam 120 ml of milk with 5 drops of pecan extract to 60°-65° Celsius (140°-150°F), or until the bottom of the pitcher is too hot to touch. Try to create a 1.5 cm sweet, nutty milk foam.

Notes
To get the best results when making this coffee...
You’ll want to use a coffee machine that’s capable of brewing a strong espresso shot. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can also use a stovetop espresso maker or even a high-quality coffee maker that has an espresso shot option.
When it comes to steaming milk, a milk frother is ideal.
If you have an espresso machine with a steam wand, you can use that for perfectly steamed milk.
Alternatively, a handheld milk frother can also do the job well, giving you the same creamy results.
While this Maple Pecan Coffee recipe is delicious on its own, you can always experiment to make it even more customized to your taste. Here are a few variations:
Maple Pecan Latte: For a more traditional latte feel, use the same recipe but add more steamed milk to create a less intense espresso flavor. This makes the drink even creamier and lighter, perfect if you prefer a softer coffee flavor.
Iced Maple Pecan Coffee: If you're craving a cool treat, try this recipe over ice. Brew your espresso, let it cool down, and then pour it over ice, following the same method for the milk and maple syrup.
Maple Nuts Coffee: If you like a more textured coffee, sprinkle some crushed pecans or even walnuts on top after garnishing. This adds a crunchy texture that enhances the nutty flavor.
Dairy-Free Version: For a dairy-free version, simply swap the milk for almond milk, oat milk, or another non-dairy alternative. You’ll still enjoy the creamy texture and sweetness, but without the dairy!
