Notes
Make the maple-pecan syrup ahead by combining maple syrup and pecan extract in a jar; it keeps up to 2 weeks refrigerated. Use large ice cubes to prevent quick dilution. Adjust sweetness to taste. Pecan extract is essential for authentic flavor; substitute with toasted pecan oil or vanilla extract if unavailable. For a warm version, gently heat milk and syrup mixture and add hot coffee.
