Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso
- ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk, unsweetened
- ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon for garnish (optional)
- Ice cubes, enough to fill your glass
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso using your preferred method and set aside to cool slightly (about 3 minutes).
- In a mixing jar or bowl, combine ½ cup oat milk and ½ cup almond milk with 1 tablespoon simple syrup and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes or whisk by hand until soft peaks form.
- Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour the brewed espresso over the ice. Slowly spoon or pour the creamy milk foam over the espresso to create the frothy top. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top if desired.
Notes
If foam starts to separate, gently stir or shake again before pouring. Use larger ice cubes to prevent quick melting. For a sweeter latte, add extra syrup before frothing. Fresh espresso is key for best flavor. Can substitute cold brew for espresso for a smoother taste. Coconut milk can be used but froths differently.
