| I love to start my latte in this beautiful pour-over combo made by a local artisan. |
Here's a treat that a friend introduced me to a long time ago. When I became more conscious of what I was eating, I put it aside with regrets. But now I've adapted it to fit into a healthy diet. Well, at least a little better!
Think Hot Mocha Cinnamon Hazelnut Latte topped with Whipped Cream!
Organic coffee, I prefer hazelnut.
Cream from raw milk (whipped but not sweetened) or homemade marshmallows)
cinnamon powder or a cinnamon stick
organic chocolate shavings (in a pinch use organic chocolate chips)
Brew coffee a little on the strong side
add cream if you like
Top with a dollop of whipped cream (or homemade marshmallows!)
Shave chocolate over the top
Sprinkle with cinnamon or add a cinnamon stick and top with a cherry.
Sweeten with a little, tiny pinch of stevia, if desired.
Enjoy with a piece of almond biscotti!
The sky's the limit for flavorings and you can always add a healthy version of coffee syrups or toppings to make special treats. Move over Starbucks. We're making our own latte at home!
This recipe is a nice surprise if you're caught by company without anything on hand to offer them. It looks like you fussed but only you know the truth!

Mmm, this latte sounds yummy. I found it interesting to see cream from raw milk - this is not available in Canada unless you're a dairy farmer and have your own.
ReplyDeleteI do like Starbucks, but only for the occasional treat.
Beg to differ. I make my own coffee every day (Peets coffee beans that I grind), in a cappucino maker, with organic whipped cream, but I can taste the difference!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a coffee drinker, that would be delightful!
ReplyDeleteSounds good and you're saving a lot of money too!
ReplyDeleteWow, will have to try this soon! Sounds great.
