This viral Teddy Graham latte is a cozy and nostalgic coffee drink inspired by the flavors of the classic childhood snack. I love how the cinnamon, honey, and vanilla come together with creamy oat milk and cold foam to create a sweet, spiced latte that feels like dessert in a cup.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like that this latte is both indulgent and comforting, with layers of flavor that taste just like Teddy Grahams. The cold foam adds a silky texture, and I enjoy how the honey and cinnamon make the drink naturally warm and inviting. It’s perfect for when I want a café-style treat at home.
Ingredients
(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)
Cold Foam
¼ cup heavy cream 60mL
2 tablespoons whole milk 30mL
1 tablespoon vanilla simple syrup 15mL
1 pinch salt
Latte
1 tablespoon honey 21g
2 teaspoons vanilla simple syrup 10mL
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more for garnish
2 ounces espresso
ice cubes
6 ounces oat milk 180mL
Directions
- I start by making the cold foam. I whisk or froth the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla syrup, and a pinch of salt until thick and fluffy but still pourable.
- For the latte, I drizzle honey into a tall glass and add the vanilla syrup and ground cinnamon.
- I pour in the hot espresso and stir until everything is dissolved and blended.
- I add ice cubes to the glass and pour over the oat milk.
- I top the drink with the prepared cold foam and finish with a light dusting of cinnamon.
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes 1 serving. I usually spend about 5 minutes preparing the latte and foam, so it’s ready quickly whenever I crave it.
Variations
Sometimes I swap oat milk for almond or whole milk for a different flavor. I also like adding a splash of caramel syrup for extra sweetness. For a dairy-free version, I make the cold foam with coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
Storage/Reheating
I enjoy this drink fresh, but if I need to prepare ahead, I store the cold foam in the fridge for up to 2 hours. The latte itself should be made and enjoyed immediately since the ice will dilute it over time.
FAQs
Can I make this hot instead of iced?
Yes, I skip the ice and steam the oat milk before adding the cold foam on top.
Can I use store-bought cold foam?
Yes, but I prefer homemade since it’s fresher and I can adjust the sweetness.
What if I don’t have vanilla simple syrup?
I make my own by mixing equal parts sugar and water with a splash of vanilla extract.
Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?
Yes, I dissolve 2 teaspoons of instant coffee in hot water as a substitute.
Can I make it less sweet?
Yes, I reduce the honey or vanilla syrup to taste.
Can I make it vegan?
Yes, I use plant-based cream for the foam and dairy-free milk alternatives.
How do I get the foam extra thick?
I whip it with a handheld frother or whisk until it forms soft peaks.
Can I use flavored honey?
Yes, cinnamon or vanilla-infused honey enhances the Teddy Graham flavor even more.
What’s the best milk for the cold foam?
I like whole milk mixed with cream for the best texture, but half-and-half works too.
Can I garnish it with crushed Teddy Grahams?
Yes, I sometimes sprinkle crushed Teddy Grahams on top for a fun presentation.
Conclusion
This viral Teddy Graham latte is a fun, nostalgic, and flavorful coffee drink that I love making at home. With its warm cinnamon-honey base, creamy oat milk, and sweet vanilla cold foam, it’s the perfect treat when I want something cozy yet refreshing.
