Vanilla Almond Latte #drink #latte #chocolate #almond #recipes

I was so energized when I discovered Starbucks was going to begin conveying almond milk — and afterward so woefully frustrated to attempt it just to discover it was excessively sweet, and not rich.

A locally acquired container of almond milk doesn't make a decent latte. Almond milk is for the most part water, so blended in with espresso, the almond flavor is completely overwhelmed by solid espresso.

A decent almond latte should be made with a thick natively constructed vanilla almond milk half and half.

While it sounds muddled, it truly takes minutes to make (when your almonds are splashed!).

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup almonds soaked overnight
• 1 1/2 cups water + 1/2 cup more
• 1-3 medjool dates
• 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• cold brew coffee or espresso*

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add soaked and drained almonds to a blender with pitted dates and vanilla. Choose 1-3 dates depending on desired sweetness. 
2. Start by adding 1 1/2 cups of water, and blending into a fine puree, about 2-3 minutes in a high speed blender. 
3. Add 1/2 cup more water, and pulse to combine well.
4. Strain almond pulp out of the cream by pouring into a jar with a nut milk bag or with cheesecloth. After the creamer has stopped dripping through, be sure to squeeze as much creamer out of the pulp first before discarding. Quite a bit of liquid will still in in the pulp.
5. If making hot lattes, heat cold brew coffee or make espresso or strong French press coffee. I like these with slightly more than half being almond creamer.
6. If making iced lattes, fill glassed with ice, and pour them about 1/2 way full with either cold brew coffee or espresso. Fill the rest of the glasses with vanilla almond milk creamer.
