Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 shot Freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Sweetener of choice (optional, such as stevia or maple syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Start by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If using a stovetop espresso maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions or use an espresso machine if available.

Step 2

While the coffee is brewing, pour the unsweetened almond milk into a small saucepan.

Step 3

Heat the almond milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching. Heat the milk until it is warm and small bubbles start to form around the edges, but do not bring it to a boil.

Step 4

Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you're using a sweetener, add it to the milk as well to allow it to dissolve easily.

Step 5

Using a milk frother or an immersion blender, froth the heated almond milk until you obtain your desired level of foam. Alternatively, you can pour the almond milk into a jar, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until frothy.

Step 6

Pour the brewed espresso or strong coffee into a coffee mug.

Step 7

Gently pour the frothed almond milk over your coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam initially. Once the milk is poured, top your latte with the remaining foam.

Step 8

Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for added flavor and aroma.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium almond milk latte!
