Almond liquor not only sweetens, but it adds a subtle nuttiness that transforms any drink or dessert. One bottle of amaretto has a long shelf life, and a little amount goes a long way in flavor. This Amaretto Latte is sweet, and might I add, a whimsical Italian treat to upscale your average lattes at home.

Notes
Freshly ground beans is key to the best brew. Coffee subscriptions are awesome to fit your palette, and provide the freshest beans to a variety of different flavors and roasters in the US! GRINDING BEANS
I LOVE grinding the beans right before brewing. Many coffee machines or espresso machines have a dual grinder and brewer, or you can buy single ones. I use a Trade Coffee subscription to get the freshest beans. You get 30% off your first subscription, plus free shipping!

For all the coffee addicts out there, there’s nothing like homemade lattes infused with lavender and vanilla. The lavender naturally and flagrantly infuse the milk (aka latte) like tea and once mixed with coffee, you’ve instantly turned your home into a barista. This is definitely my latte choice! Now to the best part: espresso. Perhaps […]
Vanilla Cinnamon Latte
Vanilla latte is my go-to Starbucks drink. Making the Starbucks run isn’t always feasible, so creating one at home just seemed like the right thing to do.

Now to the best part: espresso. Perhaps due to my coffee obsession, I love […]

Minty Oat Latte
Vegan lattes have become a new favorite of mine to whip up in the mornings. Oat milk stands out with its nutty flavors, and its thickness turns any latte into a creamy concoction.
