Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Freshly brewed coffee
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk (or low-carb milk alternative of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, pour-over, etc.). Set aside 240ml of the brewed coffee.
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Heat until warm but not boiling.
If you’d like a frothy texture, use a handheld milk frother or whisk to froth the warm almond milk until it becomes foamy.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, filling it about halfway.
Slowly pour the warmed almond milk over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon until the milk is poured in. Then, scoop the foam on top for a cafe-style finish.
If desired, stir in granulated stevia or monk fruit sweetener for added sweetness. You may also add vanilla extract for an enhanced flavor profile.
Serve immediately and enjoy your diabetic-friendly Cafe Au Lait!
