Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened oat milk
- 1 shot Freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Start by brewing a fresh shot of espresso or make about 1/4 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the oat milk is warm, use a milk frother or a whisk to create a nice froth. If using a whisk, vigorously whisk until frothy and doubled in size.
Combine the brewed espresso or strong coffee with the vanilla extract in a coffee mug or glass.
Slowly pour the frothy oat milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the liquid to mix first.
Gently spoon the remaining foam on top of the latte.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for a fragrant finish.
Optional: Add maple syrup for a touch of sweetness, stirring gently to combine. Enjoy your low sodium oat milk latte immediately.
