Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the sorghum flour and milk until there are no lumps and the mixture is well combined.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Pour the hot latte into mugs. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and comfort of this traditional African beverage.
Tips
- For a vegan alternative, substitute the milk with almond milk or oat milk, and replace the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, top the latte with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
