Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup barista-style almond milk (use a creamy almond milk designed for frothing)
- 2 ½ tbsp sugar cookie syrup
- 2 oz espresso (or substitute with 8 oz freshly brewed strong coffee)
- Christmas sprinkles (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the Flavored Almond Milk: In a small saucepan, combine the barista-style almond milk and sugar cookie syrup. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat until it is steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally to blend the syrup evenly.
- Froth the Milk: If you have a milk frother, froth the warmed almond milk mixture to create a creamy foam. Set the frothed milk aside.
- Prepare the Coffee Base: Brew 2 ounces of espresso or 8 ounces of strong brewed coffee into your favorite mug.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the frothed sugar cookie almond milk over the espresso or coffee. Add the foam as the topping.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top if desired, adding a festive touch. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- For best results, use barista-style almond milk, which steams and froths better than regular almond milk.
- Sugar cookie syrup can often be found at specialty online stores or can be substituted with a vanilla or caramel syrup for a different flavor.
- To make this beverage vegan and dairy-free, ensure your espresso or coffee is brewed without any cream or milk additions.
- Adjust the amount of sugar cookie syrup to taste depending on how sweet you like your latte.
