I wanted to share my at home latte for those of you who only have a coffee pot like me!! If you are like me and don't drink cows milk (unless it's raw & organic) this may change your life!
It's been such a blessing for me to see the health changes throughout the country! We are becoming more involved in our food supply. Coffee shops are now offering healthy "milk substitutes." My faves are coconut milk and almond milk! You can buy these fantastic lattes and other concoctions with these subs at places like La Costa coffee company and Lofty Coffee Co in Encinitas!! Or save
$ money $ like me and make some at home!!
I don't drink coffee often. I stopped in January around the time I started eating meat again. (I will write about why I went from 7 years of veg to meat eater soon!) We went to The Mayan Riviera for our anniversary in October and I couldn't stop the desire for a hot soul soothing cup o'latte! I usually opt for "coffee like" substitutes such as Teeccino™ Or The Dandy Blend™. Buuuut every now and again I crave that hot cup of energy boosting, heart pattering Java!!!!
Here are the deets!!
Need:
*Coconut milk (carton or can)
*Stevia drops (optional natural sweetener) or raw organic honey
*Coffee, Teeccino (herbs and coffee like flavor) or Dandy Blend (rich flavor like coffee from the root of a dandelion)! (found at sprouts or Jimbos)
*Small pot for boiling milk on stove
Do:
Bring coconut milk and stevia drops (sweeten to taste) to a boil! I like to wait until it almost foams out the top of the pot ;)
Have coffee ready. Pour the coffee into cup first then strain the milk into cup and pour foam on top! Doesn't foam quite as nice but it tastes fantastic!
Enjoy!
