Quick Answer
To make a French toast latte at home, combine Jot coffee concentrate with steamed milk, vanilla syrup, a pinch of cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup for that classic breakfast flavor.
Why Use Coffee Concentrate for a French Toast Latte?
Coffee concentrate gives you a strong, smooth base that stands up to sweet syrups and milk without turning watery. Jot's 20x concentration means one tablespoon delivers the same caffeine as a full cup of regular coffee, so your latte keeps its coffee character even with added flavors.
The French Toast Sampler Pack from Jot offers pre-portioned 3 oz cups of concentrated coffee, making it easy to test the recipe without committing to a full bottle. Each cup is ready to mix with water or milk in seconds.
Choosing Your Sweetener and Spice Balance
French toast flavor relies on a trio of cinnamon, vanilla, and maple. Start with 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup per serving, then adjust to your sweetness preference. A light dusting of cinnamon on top adds aroma without overpowering the coffee.
If you prefer a sugar-free version, use sugar-free vanilla syrup and a dash of cinnamon. The maple note can come from maple extract instead of syrup.
Step-by-Step: French Toast Latte with Jot Concentrate
- Heat your milk: Heat 6 to 8 ounces of milk (dairy or plant-based) in a saucepan over medium heat or steam it with an espresso machine until it reaches 150°F. Avoid boiling, which can scorch the milk and create a burnt taste.
- Mix the concentrate and syrups: In your serving mug, combine 1 tablespoon of Jot coffee concentrate (or the contents of one French Toast Sampler cup) with 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup and 1 teaspoon maple syrup. Stir until fully blended. If using the Cinnamon Roll concentrate, reduce or skip the vanilla syrup since the concentrate already has vanilla notes.
- Pour and finish: Pour the hot milk over the concentrate mixture and stir gently. Top with a light dusting of ground cinnamon. For an iced version, pour the concentrate and syrups over ice, add cold milk, and stir. Taste before adding extra sweetener — the syrups and concentrate together can be sweet enough for most palates.
