Homemade Dairy-Free Lattes
Enjoy a barista-quality latte without the dairy—this recipe shows you how to easily create a delicious and creamy non-dairy latte at home.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Non-dairy milk (e.g., oat, almond, soy) | 1 cup (240ml) | Your favorite brand will work! |
| Strong brewed coffee | 1/2 cup (120ml) | Freshly brewed is best! |
| Maple syrup or sweetener | 1-2 tablespoons | Adjust to your sweetness preference. |
| Vanilla extract | 1/2 teaspoon | Optional, but adds a lovely flavor. |
| Cinnamon (optional) | Pinch | For extra warmth and spice. |
Instructions
- Brew your coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee using a method that creates a strong brew. You can use a French press like any of these options or your preferred coffee maker.
- Heat the milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently warm your chosen non-dairy milk. Avoid boiling, as this can scorch the milk. For extra frothiness, use a milk frother similar to these.
- Combine and Sweeten: Once the milk is warm, pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Add the warmed non-dairy milk, along with your maple syrup or preferred sweetener, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using).
- Stir and Enjoy: Gently stir everything together until well combined and the sweetener is dissolved. Enjoy your delicious homemade dairy-free latte immediately!
If you skip any of the steps, or add too much milk and not enough coffee, you’ll end up with a beverage that tastes like vaguely caffeinated dishwater. Enjoy!
