I love a good (decaf) latte, but I a) don't want to spend the money necessary to buy them at a coffee place on a regular basis..... b) want to know exactly what I'm consuming..... c) don't generally have time to go to a coffee shop!
I recently read about a way to make a homemade latte without having a frother attachment, and was so excited! I had an awesome little frother that my mom had gotten me from IKEA, but unfortunately it broke. :( But now there is a solution!
Begin by brewing your favorite coffee - full 'caf', decaf, hazelnut, what ever your cup of tea coffee is! While your coffee is brewing, heat up some milk in the microwave.... I heated for 1 minute, until warmed through. And a latte is generally 1/2-2/3 milk, which means you're using half or less of coffee. But honestly, at moderation4life, we're all about tailoring things to your needs and tastebuds so if you want more or less coffee, do what you want!
Once your milk is warm, either place it in a blender, or grab your handheld egg beater.
Add your frothy milk to the coffee. You will need to get a spoon to get the froth into the cup, because the froth tends to sit at the back of the cup when you're pouring. Once again, add as much or as little froth and milk as you like.
And guess what, now you get to enjoy!
Make this on your next lazy morning, or as you're headed out the door to your busy day!
