The Starbucks Iced Latte Order That Rivals A Childhood Snack

Starbucks' secret menu may have started as an underground trend among regulars, but the company has made many of these creative orders official, even offering incentives for customers to come up with drinks of their own. One off-menu item that has gone viral online is a Teddy Grahams iced latte. Since the drink isn't officially on the menu, asking simply for a "Teddy Grahams latte" may leave baristas unfamiliar with the trend unsure what to make, so be prepared to explain the order. 

This off-menu iced latte is made with double espresso, any milk of choice, honey, brown sugar, and brown sugar cold foam. A dash of cinnamon brings the creation together, and some customers order it with blonde espresso for a mellower flavor. The combination is meant to evoke the taste of Teddy Grahams, with sweet notes of cinnamon and honey reminiscent of the cookies' toasted, lightly sweet crunch. Many who have tried it say they would order it again. 

A Teddy Grahams iced latte can be customized to suit your own preferences, with extra honey or brown sugar syrup for added sweetness. Some fans on Instagram replace the honey with caramel. "It's my fav," one commenter wrote. Choosing blonde espresso makes the drink smoother and more mellow than one made with Starbucks' standard espresso roast, allowing the flavors of the sweeter ingredients to stand out. Finished with brown sugar cold foam and a dusting of cinnamon, this creamy, cozy drink pairs well with your favorite Starbucks baked item. 

While ordering your personalized drink at Starbucks makes life convenient, you can also try to create a version of the Teddy Grahams drink at home. Lean further into its nostalgic inspiration by crumbling Teddy Grahams over the cold foam for added texture. You can also make cereal milk by steeping Teddy Grahams in your choice of milk or milk alternative, then using it in your coffee for an extra dose of cookie-inspired flavor.
