Apple Cider Latte
On a morning when you want to put your hands around a warm mug and let your senses become enveloped in sweet, warm spices, try an apple cider latte. This latte is the light, sweet and warm alternative to a pumpkin spice latte! Apple cider is warmed with spices, sugar, and a shot of espresso, then topped with foamed milk and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Make this recipe the next time you need a pick-me-up that warms you from the inside out.
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 ½ cups apple cider
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Make 2 shots of espresso.
- In a small saucepan, add the espresso, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 1/2 cups apple cider, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, warm until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot.
- Using a steamer or other frothing method, steam 1 1/2 cups of whole milk.
- Pour the warmed apple cider mixture into mugs.
- Add the steamed milk and garnish. Enjoy!
Notes
For the steamed milk, if you don’t have a steamer, you have options! My favorite technique to make frothy milk is to put the milk in a glass jar with a lid and shake it vigorously.
If you make lattes often, consider purchasing an inexpensive milk frother. I used a frother for years before I bought an espresso machine.
If you have a French press, you can use it to make frothy milk. Put the milk in the French press and pump the depressor up and down until a thick froth forms.
