Instructions
- Start by brewing a shot of espresso or making a strong cup of coffee. For a bolder flavor, use a dark roast.
- In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, which helps maintain the sweetness and prevents curdling.
- Once heated, pour the almond milk into a blender. Add the almond syrup and blend on high speed until frothy and well combined, about 30 seconds.
- In a large mug, pour the frothy almond milk and then gently pour the espresso or strong coffee over the top to create a lovely layered effect.
- Top your latte generously with whipped cream and finish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon for an aromatic touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of this Amsterdam-inspired beverage!
Tips
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding a few drops of almond extract to the almond milk before blending.
- Experiment with different types of milk, such as oat or coconut, for a unique twist.
- For those who prefer a sweeter latte, adjust the amount of almond syrup to your taste.
