Maple Latte (dairy free)
Skip the line at your local coffee shop and enjoy a creamy maple latte at home in less than 5 minutes. It's dairy free and low in sugar, making it both healthier and vegan friendly. Curl on the couch or add it to a travel mug for a delicious, creamy pick me up.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups plant based milk
- 2 oz espresso 2 shots
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp of maple syrup
- ½ tsp of cinnamon
- Vegan Whip Cream optional
Instructions
- Add the plant based milk to a sauce pan and gently heat it over medium to low heat. It will likely be heated within 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to boil or burn the milk.* You can also microwave the milk to heat it. Place the milk in a microwave-safe mug or glass for 45 seconds, repeating every 45 seconds until it is heated, for approximately 90-120 seconds total.
- While the milk is heating, begin brewing the espresso.
- Once the milk is warmed, froth the milk using a froth or a whisk by hand. The milk should be fluffy and aerated, taking approximately 30-45 seconds.
- Add in the vanilla extract, maple syrup and cinnamon and mix together.
- Pour the milk mixture into two mugs, leaving room for the espresso shot on top.
- Finally, mix in the espresso (1 ounce for each mug). Option to top with additional cinnamon and whip cream!
Notes
If you latte becomes cold, simply pop it back onto a sauce pan and heat it gently on the stove. You can also place it in the microwave and warm it as 15 second spurts.
If you need to store your latte, add it to a mason jar or drinking glass with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. When ready to drink, mix it well then heat it as instructed above. It will stay well for up to 12 hours.
