Instructions
Creating your very own Vanilla Almond Latte is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Brew Espresso: Start by brewing one cup of espresso or strong coffee using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or French press.
2. Heat Almond Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the almond milk over medium heat. Do not bring it to a boil; you want it to be warm and frothy.
3. Froth Almond Milk: Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated almond milk until it’s light and airy, creating a soft layer of foam.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large coffee mug, combine the brewed espresso and vanilla syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors.
5. Add Frothed Milk: Carefully pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon.
6. Top with Foam: Spoon the remaining foam from the froth to give it a nice topping.
7. Garnish: If desired, add whipped cream, crushed almonds, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon for an extra touch.
8. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Vanilla Almond Latte hot or allow it to cool slightly for an iced treat!
These steps will guide you through making an amazing latte that you can savor or impress others with.
