Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 shot Freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sugar or sugar substitute (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Start by pouring 1 cup of low-fat milk into a small saucepan. Heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to steam, but do not let it come to a boil.
Once the milk is heated, remove the saucepan from the stove and stir in 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 0.25 teaspoons of vanilla extract. If you want a sweeter latte, add 1 teaspoon of sugar or your preferred sugar substitute.
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk mixture until it becomes creamy and frothy. If using a whisk, vigorously whisk the milk for about 1 to 2 minutes until you achieve the desired frothiness.
Prepare a strong coffee or espresso shot using your preferred method (espresso machine, French press, or a strong coffee brew).
Pour the hot coffee or espresso into a large mug.
Gently pour the frothed cinnamon-infused milk over the coffee, holding back the frothy foam with a spoon to pour it on top after the milk.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of the foam for additional garnish and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade low fat cinnamon latte.
