What is mazapan latte?
Mazapan is a traditional Mexican candy made with a mixture of peanuts and sugar. It's loved for its crunchy texture and sweet, nutty flavor. This candy has been used in many ways to enhance the flavor of desserts, pastries, and now coffee. Its flavor complements coffee perfectly, and that's how the mazapan latte was born.
To make the mazapan latte, a double shot of espresso is added into steaming milk and mixing with mazapan candy. The result is a rich, creamy latte with a nutty flavor and a slight crunch.
Mazapan latte has gained popularity among coffee shops, and Puerto Rico's 787 Coffee shop is one of them. We have mastered and created our own version that keeps customers coming back for more. Besides, it's a Puerto Rican-inspired latte, and what better way to enjoy a cup of coffee than having a little taste of the Caribbean?
Not only is the mazapan latte a satisfying treat for the taste buds, but it also provides the caffeine boost we all need to start our day or power through an afternoon slump. The double espresso shots added to the drink provides that extra jolt of energy that we all look for in our morning coffee.
In addition to its taste and energy-boosting properties, mazapan lattes can be customized to your liking. If you want to cut down on the sweetness, you can ask the barista to go easy on the pieces of mazapan we put ( our standard is two candy pieces and you could cut to one piece if desired.) or you could make it a quadruple espresso shot if you need more caffeine. Milk alternatives like almond or oat milk can also be used for those who have dairy allergies or prefer a vegan option. This drink contains peanuts, which create a wonderful and unique texture when enjoying this latte.
How to make a mazapan latte?
Brew two shots of espresso using an espresso machine (moka Pot if you don’t have an espresso machine at home) and set aside.
