Ingredients
- ¾ cup barista-style almond milk
- 2 ½ tbsp sugar cookie syrup
- 2 oz espresso (or 8 oz freshly brewed coffee)
- Christmas sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Syrup: In a small saucepan, stir together the almond milk and sugar cookie syrup. Heat on medium-low heat until the mixture is steaming but not boiling, ensuring even warming without scorching.
- Froth Milk: Once heated, froth the milk mixture using a milk frother to create a creamy, airy texture. Set the frothed milk aside.
- Brew Coffee: Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly into a mug. If an espresso machine is unavailable, use 8 ounces of freshly brewed coffee as an alternative.
- Assemble Latte: Pour the frothed sugar cookie almond milk over the espresso in the mug, allowing the foam to rest on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles if desired for a festive look. Serve immediately enjoy your holiday-inspired latte!
Notes
- Use barista-style almond milk for best frothing results and creaminess.
- Sugar cookie syrup can be found at specialty stores or made at home by infusing simple syrup with cookie spices.
- Do not boil the milk mixture to prevent curdling and maintain smooth texture.
- Optional: Adjust syrup quantity to taste depending on desired sweetness.
- To make homemade espresso, use an espresso machine or strong brewed coffee as a substitute.
