Ingredients
  

For the Latte:
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee
  • 1 1/2 cups oat milk barista blend recommended
  • to taste sweetener of choice (maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
  • to taste flavorings (vanilla extract or cinnamon)

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Milk frother or whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Serving mug

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Brew Your Coffee - Start by brewing your espresso shots or strong coffee. If you are using an espresso machine, pull two shots. For a coffee maker, brew 1/2 cup of your favorite coffee.
  2. Step 2: Heat the Oat Milk - In a small saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat. You want it warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Step 3: Froth the Oat Milk - Once heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the oat milk until it’s creamy and has doubled in volume. If you don’t have a frother, you can shake the milk vigorously in a jar or whisk it in a bowl.
  4. Step 4: Combine Coffee and Oat Milk - Pour the brewed coffee into your serving mug, then gently add the frothed oat milk over the top. Allow it to mix slightly but keep some of the foam on top.
  5. Step 5: Sweeten and Flavor (Optional) - If desired, add your choice of sweetener and flavorings. Stir gently to combine, or leave it layered for a beautiful presentation.
  6. Step 6: Enjoy! - Take a moment to appreciate your beautiful oat milk latte before diving in. Savor each sip and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze the latte in ice cube trays for refreshing iced coffee later.
  • Gently reheat on the stovetop or microwave, avoiding boiling.
