Everyone is on the search for their new favorite coffee recipe, a fun pick-me-up that's also full of benefits. So, let's embark on a journey to create a Vanilla Latte Kaizen-style, where each element, from the beans to the froth, is meticulously curated for perfection.
Ingredients:
- One scoop of Kaizen Coffee
- Fresh, cold water
- Whole milk (or your preferred milk substitute)
- Pure vanilla extract
- Organic Monk fruit or sweetener of choice (optional)
- Ice cubes (if making an iced vanilla latte)
Directions:
- Create the Base: Add one scoop of Kaizen Coffee into your cup, and add warm or cold water whether it's a hot latte, or iced. The base of Kaizen Coffee will strengthen your immunity, hydrate your skin, boost brain power, and keep you going with no jitters or crash!
-
Heat and Froth the Milk: While your espresso is brewing, gently heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil. For a velvety texture, use a milk frother to create a luxurious microfoam. If you don't have a frother, you can achieve similar results by vigorously whisking the milk or using a French press.
-
Infuse with Vanilla: Add a splash of pure vanilla extract to the frothed milk, stirring gently to incorporate the aromatic essence. Adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences, keeping in mind that a little goes a long way.
-
Sweeten to Taste: If desired, sweeten your vanilla latte with a touch of granulated sugar or your preferred sweetener. Remember that the vanilla extract adds a natural sweetness, so adjust accordingly.
-
Assemble Your Latte: Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a mug, followed by the infused vanilla milk. Use a spoon to scoop the creamy foam on top, creating a layered masterpiece. If making an iced vanilla latte, simply pour the espresso over ice before adding the vanilla milk.
-
Savor and Reflect: Take a moment to savor your Vanilla Latte Kaizen-style. Notice the intricate balance of flavors – the boldness of the espresso, the creaminess of the milk, and the subtle sweetness of vanilla. Reflect on the small adjustments you've made to perfect your coffee experience and consider how you can continue to refine it in the future.
