Step 1

Prepare the Coffee Base

Start by brewing a strong espresso using your preferred method. This will be the foundation of your nutty latte.

Once the espresso is ready, heat the almond milk gently in a saucepan over medium heat. You can also use a milk frother if you have one.

After the almond milk is warm, stir in the nut syrup, ensuring it combines well with the milk and enhances the flavor of the latte.

Step 2

Assemble the Latte

In a large mug, pour the prepared espresso first. Then, slowly add the almond milk mixture on top, allowing the layers to create a beautiful effect.

You can use a spoon to hold back the foam while pouring if you want to avoid mixing.

Step 3

Add the Finishing Touches

Top your latte with a generous amount of whipped cream for a delightful creaminess. Feel free to add as much as you like!

Finally, place a warm waffle on the side or on top of the cream for decoration. This adds a fun touch and extra flavor to your beverage.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Take a moment to admire your nutty latte creation. It’s not just a treat for your taste buds, but also a feast for the eyes!

Serve immediately and enjoy the cozy flavors of fall with every sip. Perfect for a quiet afternoon or a gathering with friends.
