The basics
What Is in a 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte?
Quick answer: The 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte is a latte made with espresso, milk, cane sugar, toasted marshmallow and salted caramel syrups.
Creme brulee is a French custard with a burnt sugar top. The 7 Brew version copies that taste with three flavors. Cane sugar adds clean sweetness, toasted marshmallow brings the burnt-sugar note, and salted caramel gives it a rich finish. The drink was a featured holiday flavor in 2024 and is now on the 7 Classics menu. It is a cozy pick for cool mornings.

This latte is sweet, but the salt keeps it balanced. Because it has three syrups, small changes make a big difference. Start with the amounts in our table and taste before you add more. If you have a kitchen torch, you can even caramelize sugar on top of the whipped cream. That gives you a real creme brulee crunch.
What you need
Ingredients for the 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small. Use coffee-shop style syrups and sauces, the same kind sold for lattes and Italian sodas. A pump from a store syrup bottle is about 1/4 ounce, and a tablespoon is about 1/2 ounce. Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.
- Espresso: 2 shots (2 oz) (or 1/2 cup strong coffee)
- Cane sugar syrup: 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) (simple syrup works too)
- Toasted marshmallow syrup: 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) (gives the burnt-sugar taste)
- Salted caramel syrup: 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) (adds a rich finish)
- Milk: 3/4 cup (6 oz) (2% or whole milk)
- Ice: 1 to 1 1/2 cups (crushed or nugget ice works best)
Tip: Make your own cane sugar syrup by stirring equal parts sugar and hot water until clear. Keep it in the fridge for two weeks.
Let us make it
How to Make a 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte at Home
Coffee drinks at 7 Brew follow the same simple order. The flavors melt into hot espresso first, then the milk and ice go in. This keeps thick sauces from sinking to the bottom. Stir well before you taste it. The whole drink takes about five minutes.
- Brew the espresso: Pull 2 shots of espresso or pour 1/2 cup of strong hot coffee into a cup.
- Stir in the flavors: Add the cane sugar syrup, toasted marshmallow syrup and salted caramel syrup and stir until smooth.
- Add ice and milk: Fill a 16 oz cup with ice, pour in the coffee, then add the milk.
- Finish it: Stir again and top with whipped cream or a drizzle if you like.
Pro tips for the best taste
- Use cold ingredients so the ice melts slowly.
- Measure syrups the first time, then adjust to taste.
- Stir from the bottom, because syrup sinks.
- Make syrups last by storing them in a cool, dark spot.
This drink is best hot, but it also works iced. For a hot latte, steam the milk until it is foamy and pour it over the espresso. Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of sugar. If you have a kitchen torch, brown the sugar for a crunchy top. Be careful and keep the flame away from the cup.
