Blender Lattes
Here's a pretty decent imitation of a real latte without the $4 price tag (and you don't have to leave the house to have one):
-1 c. whole milk (I usually just use 2%), heated in the microwave or on the stove
-3-4 oz. double-strength brewed coffee (or 2 oz. shot of espresso)
Pumpkin Spiced Latte:
-1+ tsp. of sugar
-1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
-1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
Combine sugar, vanilla and spice in a blender with the hot milk. Blend on low speed for approx. 10 seconds or until frothy. Slowly remove lid to vent. Pour milk/spices into a mug then pour hot coffee into the mug as well. Enjoy!
Vanilla (or other) Latte:
-Half shot (or 3/4 oz.) vanilla or other syrup
Follow same directions above except substitute sugar/vanilla/spice for flavored syrup of your choice (I usually use Torani French Vanilla Syrup). Yum!
