Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and butter extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Add the milk to the pan and whisk until warmed through and frothy (do not let it boil).
Divide the espresso between two mugs. Pour the milk over the coffee, stirring gently to combine.
Top each latte with whipped cream and festive sprinkles. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an iced version, let the syrup cool, then pour over cold milk and iced espresso.
Make it dairy-free by using oat or almond milk and coconut whipped cream.
Stir in a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for an extra holiday touch.
