Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 packet Sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or equivalent)
- 0.25 teaspoons Cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium-low heat until warm, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
While the milk is warming, dissolve the instant coffee granules in a cup of hot water in a large mug.
Once the milk is warm, remove it from the heat and whisk vigorously to create foam. Alternatively, use a handheld milk frother for a creamier texture.
Stir the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sweetener into the dissolved coffee until fully incorporated and well blended.
Gently pour the frothed almond milk over the coffee mixture, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Once the milk is poured, spoon the foam on top for a rich café-style presentation.
Sprinkle with a light dusting of cocoa powder for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy Low Fat Low Cal Café Vienna!
