Instructions
-
Start with the Beetroot Base: In a mug, combine the freshly extracted beetroot juice, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, coconut milk, coconut sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk well to ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Add the Hot Almond Milk: Gradually pour in the hot almond milk while stirring continuously. The hot milk will blend all the ingredients together and create a smooth, frothy texture.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once fully mixed and frothy, pour the mixture into a serving mug or glass. Serve hot for the best experience.
-
Pairing Tip: For a wholesome breakfast or a delightful afternoon tea, enjoy your Beet Latte with chocolate buckwheat pancakes. The combination of flavors will make for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Tips and Variations:
- Coconut Sugar Substitutes: If you prefer a different sweetener, you can replace coconut sugar with maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia, according to your taste preferences.
- Make it Frothy: To achieve extra frothiness, you can use a milk frother for the almond milk, or simply heat it in a saucepan and whisk vigorously.
- Extra Spice: For an added flavor twist, try incorporating a pinch of nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon.
Enjoy this nourishing and delicious Beet Latte as a wholesome drink to elevate your day with a burst of color and natural sweetness!
