Brown Sugar and Nutmeg Latte
The perfect blend of creamy, spiced, and caffeinated! This latte will surely become a fall favorite during the colder months. It's so easy to make, and is always impressive when friends gather round!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups brewed hot coffee (I prefer espresso, but any base will work)
- 2 cups hot milk (frothed)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 star anise
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- First, brew your coffee of choice. In my case I had a dark roast espresso as a base - but you can use any type. Regular drip coffee also tastes wonderful!If you are using a drip - add a star of anise to the filter with the coffee.If you are using an espresso machine - add star of anise to the cup below.
- In meantime, heat up your milk (microwaved for 1 minute roughly) or over a saucepan just until the first bubbles appear. Take off heat.
- Once your coffee is done, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Froth your milk - usually about 30-45 seconds, if done in smaller batches.
- Pour coffee into 4 cups.
- Pour frothed milk into each cup, leaving about 0.5" clearance. Then split the foam last between all cups.
- Shave your nutmeg on top of each drink, and sprinkle the cinnamon.
- Enjoy!
