Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- as needed Stevia (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso using your preferred method (e.g., espresso machine, AeroPress, or Moka pot). Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the mixture is steaming, stir in the vanilla extract. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add Stevia to taste at this point.
Use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the almond milk mixture until it is creamy and slightly foamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the freshly brewed espresso shots into a coffee mug.
Gently pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a flat top.
Optionally, use the spoon to place a small dollop of foam on top of the flat white for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb almond flat white!
