Instant Cinnamon Dulce Latte
1-2 Tbs brown sugar
Pinch of Cinnamon
A minuscule amount of nutmeg
Boiling water
Cream or milk
Ok. Here is what you do. Add the first 4 ingredients to your cup. Stir vigorously. Pour boiling water to the desired amount. Fill the rest of the way with cream. Stir and sip!
Now never make this, or drink it, unless you are really desperate for a latte fix, in a hurry! It tasted like a cheap gas station's attempt at a latte! Gross! I ended up pouring it out and drinking coffee with sugar and cream. I might would have drank my latte if I had not already had a pot of coffee on for the adults in the house.
It was not awful. Just not on my list of favorites!
At all.
It might could be better if it were tweaked a little. But I think I will let it be for now. I might go back to it another time.
Flavored Latte
1 Tbs flavored syrup
1 Tbs simple syrup
4 ounces of milk (skim is best. If you use whole add one drop of vanilla.)
2 servings of espresso
Preparation
- Pour your flavored and simple syrup into your coffee cup.
- Brew your espresso.
- Steam your milk. (which should be very, very cold)
- Pour you espresso and steamed milk into the cup with the syrup at the same time.
- Scoop the extra foamed milk out of the carafe and put it on top of your latte!
Enjoy!
Macchiatto Brûlée
Makes 4
12 ounces whole milk
1 ounce of pure vanilla extract
4 ounces espresso
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
Combine the milk and the vanilla in a metal frothing pitcher. Steam until the flavored milk has doubled in volume. Brew a single shot of espresso in each of four ceramic demitasse cups. Fill cups to just below the rim with the steamed vanilla-milk foam. Evenly cover the surface of foam in each cup with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Using a small butane-fuel torch, heat the sugar until it crystallizes and becomes golden brown, or place the cups under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
