Dairy-Free Maple Cinnamon Latte (Hot And Cold)
Description
This Dairy-Free Maple Cinnamon Latte is made by mixing strongly brewed coffee with vanilla and almond extracts and sweetening with real maple syrup. It uses a combination of almond milk and full-fat coconut milk to create a creamy, dairy-free latte. The coconut milk is frothed separately to add a light foam on top, building a smooth texture and an inviting presentation.
The method supports enjoying the drink hot by warming the milk or cold by storing leftovers in the fridge and serving over ice. The maple syrup adds a natural sweetness that pairs well with the cinnamon notes from the extracts, balancing the bitterness of the coffee. Using a handheld frother or stovetop warming are suggested ways to create the froth, although frothing directly in the mug is possible with reduced foam.
This latte gives a comforting twist to typical coffee drinks, accommodating those avoiding dairy while highlighting pure maple syrup and spice flavors. Leftover latte can be refrigerated in a sealed container up to several days and reheated gently to avoid burning the milk.
The notes specify brewing stronger coffee to maintain flavor strength against milk and syrup and recommend pure maple syrup for authentic taste. Reheating should be done over low heat to protect the milk's texture, and iced serving is a convenient option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee strongly brewed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ⅛ cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk full-fat
Instructions
- Brew your coffee as per your preference.
- In your favorite coffee mug, combine the coffee, extracts, and real maple syrup.
- Add in the coconut milk into a milk frother and let it froth for 1-2 minutes.
- Using a spoon to hold the frothy milk back, pour the warmed milk into the latte and then the froth on top.
- Cozy up and enjoy!
Notes
- Both coconut and almond milk work, with coconut milk giving a creamier texture.
- A handheld frother can mix milk directly in the mug but produces less foam than separate frothing.
- Alternatively, heat milk gently on the stove to create froth before adding to coffee.
- Brew coffee stronger than usual to maintain bold flavor when combined with milk and syrup.
- Use pure maple syrup for the best maple flavor in the latte.
- Store leftover latte in a sealed container in the refrigerator; it can be enjoyed chilled over ice or gently reheated on the stove.
