Cardamom Latte
A warm, creamy, and aromatic latte infused with the rich flavor of cardamom. This cozy drink is perfect for chilly mornings or relaxing evenings, bringing a café-style experience to your home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 tablespoon cardamom syrup or 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener optional
- Ground cardamom for garnish
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Prepare a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method (French press, espresso, or drip).
- Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the cardamom syrup, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using). Mix well.
- Froth the Milk: Use a milk frother or whisk to create a creamy foam.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the brewed coffee into a mug and slowly add the frothed milk.
- Garnish: Sprinkle ground cardamom on top for extra flavor.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Use almond, oat, or coconut milk for a plant-based version. For a bolder taste, simmer a crushed cardamom pod in the milk before frothing. Honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar work well instead of regular sugar. Chill the coffee and milk, then serve over ice.
