Upgrade Your Latte With One Seasonal Trader Joe's Condiment

How to add Trader Joe's organic maple butter to a latte

Creating a salted vanilla maple latte is quite straightforward, much like many popular recipe hacks on TikTok and Instagram. According to the experts, there are four essential steps. First, incorporate maple butter into your preferred hot coffee or espresso, as it blends more effectively than when added to iced coffee. Next, sprinkle in a pinch of flaky salt, such as Maldon sea salt flakes, to impart a salted caramel essence. A touch of vanilla paste or extract will enhance the flavor profile beautifully.

After that, use an immersion blender to froth the mixture before pouring it over milk and ice. This not only ensures the maple butter is fully integrated into your coffee but also adds a delightful lightness that makes for an exceptional latte. It’s advisable to prepare two servings, as you’ll likely crave a second cup or feel compelled to share.

While this trendy recipe is designed for an iced latte, it can easily be modified for a warm beverage. Simply mix a teaspoon of Trader Joe's organic maple butter into any coffee for a creamy, comforting drink. If you have the right equipment, you can also craft a traditional latte using espresso and steamed milk, adding the maple butter to your cup before combining. Similar to the beloved pumpkin spice latte, the frothed coffee and extra milk in this recipe are particularly effective at highlighting flavors like maple.
