Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 2 shots Espresso
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 pinch Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Heat the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
Once the milk is warm but not boiling, use a frother or whisk to create foam by moving up and down quickly until the milk is frothy.
Brew two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker.
Pour the espresso into your favorite mug.
Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup to the espresso, stirring gently to combine.
Slowly pour the warm, frothed almond milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon to pour the liquid first.
Spoon the reserved foam over the top of the latte.
Garnish with a pinch of cinnamon, if desired, for an added touch of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade almond milk latte.
