Hi Drinks Tube. Mike here. And I don't mind telling you and I think I have done before that I absolutely love coffee.
I love it hot, I love it cold, I love it anyway I can get it baby.
And today I've got one for you that is gonna knock your socks off!
It's our Maple and Pecan Latte
It's our luxourious, naughty, little treat. And it's gonna be all about the luxury and the sweetness
This one isn't for every day, oh no no no. But it's got a nice coffee kick.
So the essence of the Maple and Pecan Lattee is the syrup.
By the way just to take some time out and salute you Canada and say thank you very much for one of the greatest natural sweetener known to humanity
So getting ourself a tablespoon of Maple Syrup
Just drizzle it straight into the bottom of our glass- delightful!
Next in, is gonna be a little pinch of the old cinnamon.
That's enough, that's enough, that's all I'm doing
Now how to we make the cinnamon feel at home, we go and get one of its little brothers
Not really a brother, I think it's some kind of relative but they get on very well.
Just a little bit of the old nutmeg on the top
Stir the cinnamon and the nutmeg and boom! We're ready to go
There is our syrup ready for the coffee
Now before we get to that bit, right here, I have a little bonus for you.
If you scale up all those ingredients and bottle it you can have your syrup ready to go in advance
We did exactly the same with our red cup coffees
Which you can find the link for up there
And find out how to make the gingerbread and the coffee nut lattes as well
An absolute coffee bananza- wonderful!
Next step of course, is coffee.
Now if you have access to a coffee machine, you're more than welcome to use that, even filter.
Absolutely fantastic. Me? My favourite thing is all about the cold brew
And of course, I so happen to have a bottle with me

You will not regret that
Absolute, money-back, guarantee
So, I'm gonna pour about 50ml of this
That's not diluted, that's a lovely coffee essence, with a very mellow flavour
So, now we're up to the milk
And on this occasion full-fat, full-flavour, we like to say. Use what you like, that's up to you
So I'm gonna pour in enough here, for my particular cup, 250ml
Full fat milk
We're gonna leave that on a medium heat for a couple of minutes
We're are at the perfect tempreture to start frothing
I've got my trusty frother right here in my hand
If you wanna find out how to do that, click on the old link up there, easy peasy lemon squeezy

So there we go, nicely frothed milk, ready to go
In our glass we allow the milk to meet the coffee. Hopefully this is gonna be a wonderful union, I have a feeling it will be.
Keep that heavy stuff up there and then let it float in, just to give it a little bit more substance
Now I over froth sometimes when I'm frothing my milk, just so I can give it this nice head.
The of course that gives it some platform for my favourite thing-
It's garnish time!
Of course get some nuts, which lends its name to the coffee itself
We're gonna stick a little pecan, just as a tribute to the fella here, just to say I was here.
Right so, that looks amazing as it is
And some might say I'm over egging the pudding, but I think in tribute to the coffee itself
We're gonna drizzle a bit of syrup.
Again, for you canadians you're getting a double showing in this treat
So nothing too crazy, cause we don't want to oversweeten
It's just a little drizzle round the top, that is an additional little bit of garnishing
Extra, extra naughty, so make sure you're in the right mood for ir
Don't tell the Mrs on my occasion, cause I will get in lots of trouble for that
So marvel at your handy work for a heartbeat
Then get stuck right in
Here we go!
I'm diving in, I'm going down, it's for tasty times
That one sent me cross-eyed
I got a mouthful of the chopped pecans at the same time as the coffee hit the back of the palette
I'm going up in octaves, I can't help it, it was absolutely amazing
Lovely warm coffee carrassing my palette. You can't go wrong
with this one, it's absolutely astonishing
Make sure you click on all the links that I've talked about in this video
Make sure you click on the old 'I' which will be right here, something right now
And you will get a whole list of them, absolutely marvelous, that is the beauty of technology
There you go- Maple and Pecan Latte
