Drip Latte
I start every morning like most people, with a cup of coffee! But the same cup of drip coffee every morning can get a little bit old so I started thinking about ways to change up my morning cup of coffee without adding a lot of sugar or calories. Enter the drip latte!
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. of your favorite drip coffee
- 2 oz. of 2% milk – If you prefer to be dairy free I’d encourage you to try this with oat milk, coconut milk beverage, or almond milk.
- Your preferred method of sweetener – I like to use agave syrup or organic sugar
Supplies: Mug for your coffee, spoon, and a way to steam your milk. I personally use a Capresso froth PRO on the hot setting. https://www.capresso.com/milk-frothers/froth-pro.html
Step One: Add 4 oz. of your drip coffee into your mug. I normally add about 1 tsp of sweetener to my hot drip coffee and mix it in.
Step Two: Place 2 oz. of milk into your Capresso machine and hit the hot setting – it will heat, spin, and froth the milk for you and will automatically turn off when it’s ready.
Step Three: Pour the steamed milk into your coffee and then spoon the milk foam on top.
Step Four: I like to sprinkle another 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. sugar on top of the milk foam and stir.
Step Five: Enjoy!
