Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 shots Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Heat the unsweetened almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam. Be careful not to let it boil.
While the almond milk is heating, prepare your espresso or strong brewed coffee. If you have an espresso machine, brew two shots of espresso. Alternatively, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a French press with double the amount of coffee grounds for a stronger brew.
Once the almond milk is hot, use a milk frother or immersion blender to create froth. If you do not have these tools, you can whisk the milk vigorously in the pan to create bubbles.
Pour the espresso or strong coffee into a large mug.
Add the steamed almond milk to the mug, holding back the froth with a spoon to pour the milk first, and then spoon the froth on top.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the froth for added flavor.
Enjoy your low-carb almond milk latte!
