Latte Ingredients
- 1 cup oat milk (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Cinnamon for garnish (optional)
- Brew the Coffee: Prepare a shot of espresso and set it aside. If using brewed coffee, make it extra strong by doubling the amount of coffee grounds you typically use.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix the oat milk, brown sugar, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Heat the Mixture: Warm the mixture until it becomes steaming but does not boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the brown sugar fully dissolves.
- Froth the Milk: Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to froth the warmed oat milk mixture until it reaches a nice foam texture.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the brewed espresso or strong coffee into a large mug.
- Add the Frothed Milk: Slowly pour the frothed oat milk over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon to create layered textures.
- Top and Garnish: Spoon the remaining frothy foam on top of the latte and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the warm, sweet aromas of maple and brown sugar in this comforting dairy-free latte.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso rather than brewed coffee.
- You can adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup.
- Homemade oat milk can be used for a fresher flavor and to control the sweetness.
- If you don’t have a frother, whisk the milk mixture vigorously or shake it in a tightly sealed jar until frothy.
- For a vegan version, ensure the brown sugar is vegan-friendly.
- Use cinnamon or nutmeg as garnish to add a warm spice note.
