Instructions
Toasted Pecan Maple Syrup
- Finely chop the pecans, then add the pecans and butter to a small saucepan. Set the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the pecans are toasted.

- Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or container, and pour the syrup through it to remove all the pecans. Save the pecans on the side for topping the drink.
Maple Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy whipping cream, 1 tbsp. of the toasted pecan maple syrup, and the maple extract to a small mixing bowl. Beat until soft peaks form.

- Pour some steamed or hot milk over the espresso, then top the drink off with the whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, and some of the candied pecans. Enjoy!
Notes
The syrup makes enough for ~7 drinks. You can scale it down if desired to make less, or you can keep the extra syrup stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
