Cloud Coffee and the Teddy Graham Latte are two fun, photogenic coffee drinks you can make at home — one a light, airy foam over bold espresso, the other a cozy honey-cinnamon latte topped with crushed Teddy Grahams. Here’s how to make both.
Both recipes are Instagram-worthy and flavor-packed, balancing bold espresso with sweetness and comfort. Let’s break down what makes each special and how to craft them in your own kitchen.
Cloud Coffee: Smooth, Dreamy, and Bold
Imagine sipping a cloud — airy, velvety foam floating above a strong base of espresso or brewed coffee. It takes the best of a latte and adds a whimsical twist with cloud-like foam made from either egg white or aquafaba (a vegan option). It’s lighter than a heavy latte but still rich, with a dramatic swirl that’s highly photogenic.
You’ll need (1 serving):
- 2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 Tbsp vanilla simple syrup or honey
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- 1 egg white or 2 Tbsp aquafaba (for the “cloud” foam)
- Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, for dusting
Method:
- Brew the espresso and set aside.
- Froth the milk until smooth and warm.
- Whip the egg white (or aquafaba) to soft peaks, adding a little syrup for stability.
- Pour coffee and milk together, then top with the whipped “cloud.”
- Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg.
Pro tip: for vegan coffee lovers, aquafaba makes a stunning, cruelty-free foam. New to frothing? See how to froth milk without a machine.
Teddy Graham Latte: Nostalgia in a Cup
Remember opening a box of Teddy Grahams as a kid? This latte recreates that cozy memory with honey, cinnamon, espresso, and crushed Teddy Grahams on top. It’s comfort in a cup — warm, sweet, and undeniably fun, merging coffee culture with childhood nostalgia.
You’ll need (1 serving):
- 2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream
- Crushed Teddy Grahams (honey or cinnamon flavor)
Method:
- Brew the espresso and set aside.
- Heat and froth the milk with the cinnamon and vanilla.
- Stir in the honey until blended.
- Pour the milk over the espresso and top generously with whipped cream.
- Garnish with crushed Teddy Grahams.
Pro tip: for an iced version, use cold milk and serve over ice before topping with whipped cream. No espresso machine? See how to make espresso without a machine.
