Almond Milk Macchiato
Let’s be honest, the Almond Milk Macchiato is like the chic cousin of your everyday latte—refined, sophisticated, and just a tad bit cheeky. If you think you’re too cool for regular coffee drinks, this one’s for you. Almond milk meets espresso in a harmonious dance that screams “I have arrived.”
Ingredients
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for that extra flair
Instructions
- Prepare the Espresso: Brew a shot of espresso or strong coffee. If you’re using a coffee maker, just make sure it’s potent enough to stand up to the almond milk.
- Heat the Almond Milk: Pour almond milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
- Froth the Milk: Use a milk frother to froth the almond milk until it’s nice and creamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can whisk vigorously by hand.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the vanilla syrup into your mug. Add the espresso shot on top. Gently spoon the frothed almond milk over the espresso, allowing the froth to float on top.
- Add Cinnamon (Optional): For a touch of extra class, sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon on top. It’s like putting on a fancy scarf—totally optional but makes a difference.
- Serve and Enjoy: Sip with a self-satisfied grin and enjoy your sophisticated creation.
