Absinthe Latte

Indulge in a captivating Absinthe Latte, where the enchanting herbal notes of absinthe dance harmoniously with the creamy richness of steamed milk and robust espresso. This unique beverage not only excites the palate but also offers a whimsical nod to the bohemian culture of the late 19th century, when absinthe was the drink of choice for artists and writers alike. Experience the allure of this sophisticated latte as you savor each velvety sip topped with a cloud of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Serves 1

Ingredients

Cocoa powder
1 tablespoon, for garnish
Whipped cream
1/2 cup, for topping
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Sugar
1 tablespoon, or to taste
Milk
1 cup, whole or your choice of milk
Absinthe
1.5 ounces
Espresso
1 shot (about 1 ounce)

Instructions

  1. Brew a shot of espresso and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until hot but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, this is a great time to use it to create a delightful foam.
  3. In a separate glass, combine the absinthe, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Pour the hot milk into the absinthe mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Pour the espresso shot into a serving mug, creating a base for your latte.
  6. Slowly pour the absinthe-milk mixture over the espresso, allowing the layers to create a visually stunning effect.
  7. Top generously with whipped cream and finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder for extra decadence.
  8. Serve hot, and enjoy a moment of indulgence as you sip this unique blend of flavors.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more intense flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the milk while heating.
  • 💡 Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond or oat milk, for a dairy-free version.
  • 💡 If you prefer a sweeter latte, feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste.
