Instructions
Step 1
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
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
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
Take a moment to admire your nutty latte creation. Itβs 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.
Servings
Once you've whipped up your delightful Nutty Latte, itβs time to present it in style! π Serve it warm, topped generously with whipped cream that slowly melts into the drink, creating an irresistible texture. To enjoy that extra crunch, lean your wafer against the edge of the cup. This gorgeous presentation alone will have your friends snapping photos at brunch! πΈβ¨
Feel free to pair your latte with some warm pastries or a cozy slice of pumpkin bread. Want to take it to the next level? Consider setting up a fun DIY latte bar at your next gathering, complete with flavored syrups, whipped cream, and various toppings for everyone to customize their drink! ππ°β
Equipment
To achieve that rich espresso base, an espresso machine is essential. Make sure itβs well-calibrated for the best results!
