Parisian-inspired Portland coffee shop Hypnos Coffee concocted a comforting Spiced Pear Latte for the winter season that features a syrup made with fresh pear purée and organic star anise. This syrup is simmered to bring out the perfect balance of "sugar, spice, and everything pear."
According to Hypnos Coffee, guests are delightfully surprised with how well pear goes with coffee and this well-balanced beverage is not overly sweet, with the star anise proving to be the perfect complement to all of the other flavors in the cozy latte. The Spiced Pear Latte from Hypnos Coffee is available in both 12- and 16-ounce sizes, and this perfectly spiced drink can be enjoyed either hot or iced.
