Whether or not you’re into trendy flavors like unicorn-everything and PSL this and that — pumpkin spice pizza, anyone? — there’s something undeniably comforting and universal about maple.
Over at Goddess & The Baker, maple takes center stage in the seasonal maple-sage latte, a creamy concoction of flavored syrups, espresso and whole milk. Nothing fancy here, folks, just a simple drink done right. The syrups are first layered into the bottom of the mug (or cup, if it’s to go), followed by freshly pulled espresso and a silky pour of freshly steamed milk, frothy and light. With a flick of the wrist, the barista at the espresso bar flourishes the latte with an attractive foam leaf.
The flavor — a subtle sweetness mellowing out the sharp bitterness of coffee, with a hint of herbal sage — is an easy sipper and wards off the dropping temps, if only for a minute.
