In this article, we will guide you through the simple steps to make a perfect skinny vanilla latte at home.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of brewed coffee (drip or French press)
– 1 cup of skim milk
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar or a sugar substitute (optional)
– Whipped cream (optional)
– Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
1.
Start by brewing your coffee. You can use your preferred method, such as a drip coffee maker or a French press. Once the coffee is ready, pour it into a cup.
2.
Next, heat the skim milk in a microwave-safe mug or a small saucepan. Heat it until it’s steaming hot but not boiling. This will make it easier to froth the milk.
3.
While the milk is heating, add the vanilla extract to the brewed coffee in the cup. Stir well to combine.
4.
Using a milk frother or a hand-held milk frother, froth the heated milk until it’s creamy and thick. If you don’t have a frother, you can use a whisk to achieve a similar result, although it may take a bit more effort.
5.
Pour the frothed milk over the coffee and vanilla mixture, filling the cup to the desired level.
6.
Optional: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar or a sugar substitute to taste. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener.
7.
Optional: Top the skinny vanilla latte with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and visual appeal.
8.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, low-calorie skinny vanilla latte!
