Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 dates, pitted
- ½ tsp cinnamon or 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, cacao powder, pitted dates, cinnamon (either powder or sticks), and vanilla extract into a pot.
- Heat Mixture: Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove Cinnamon: Take out the cinnamon stick(s) if used to avoid overpowering the drink.
- Blend Smooth: Transfer the hot mixture carefully to a blender and blend until smooth, ensuring the lid is secure to prevent steam escape.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the latte into cups and enjoy it warm, or serve it over ice or added to coffee for an extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for the sweetest and softest texture.
- If you prefer a thicker texture, add an extra date or let the mixture simmer longer.
- Substitute cinnamon powder if you don’t have sticks, adjusting to taste.
- For a creamier latte, use oat milk or almond milk.
- Be cautious when blending hot liquids; hold the blender lid firmly and start on low speed.
- This latte can be customized with a pinch of chili powder or a dash of nutmeg for extra warmth.
